Opera Camerata
La Belle Helene
★★★☆☆ Fizzing:
Fun and flighty, Opera Camerata has ensured that they leave us wanting more, with a production of Offenbach’s La Belle Helene at the Church Hill Theatre which hits its high notes.

The Tales of Hoffmann
★★★☆☆ Enjoyable fantasy:
Lively and hugely likeable, Opera Camerata’s production of The Tales of Hoffmann is a largely pacy and accomplished affair.
The Count of Luxembourg
★★★★☆ Hopelessly romantic:
A smidgeon of modernity, and Edinburgh modernity at that, is added to Elspeth Williamson’s clever production of Franz Lehar’s The Count of Luxembourg for Opera Camerata.
Counting on the Count
