I was struck by the programme describing this as an
‘opera comique’ though perhaps the opera authorities see the funny side of a
rather immature young man ditching his faithful girlfriend for a sexy gypsy who
he goes on to murder when she loses interest in him. A rather daft tale with
people falling in love on sight and deciding love is more important than life.
But an amazing production with horses and donkeys on stage and the unusual presence of a horse box
outside at the stage door.
