Rian Evans, The Guardian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“With some fine musical characterisation from the principals as well as those in cameo roles, and a particularly blazing finale to act one, there is a wonderful sense of a defiant upholding of MWO values by artistic director/designer Richard Studer and music director Jonathan Lyness.”
Mae’r dyddiadau hyn i gyd yn y gorffennol.
Mae un o ddramâu mwyaf Shakespeare hefyd yn un o operâu mwyaf Verdi. Dewch i brofi hanes gwefreiddiol am bŵer, ystryw a chwymp echryslon wrth i Macbeth, cadfridog dewr, ildio i berswâd ei wraig, sy’n arwain at ymgyrch ddidrugaredd i ennill gorsedd yr Alban. Sgôr syfrdanol Verdi, gyda’i felodïau ysgubol a’i harmonïau cywrain, sy’n gyrru’r naratif seicolegol gwefreiddiol ac mae Act 4 yn cyflwyno tro modern gyda’r corws hiraethus o ffoaduriaid. Caiff yr opera ei chanu yn Saesneg, gyda chyfeiliant Ensemble Cymru, cast eang a chorysau cymunedol. Cyflwyna Opera Canolbarth Cymru ei gynhyrchiad cyntaf erioed o Macbeth Verdi fel uchafbwynt tymor Shakespeare.

Clare Stevens, Opera Now
“This is an opera that stands or falls more than most on the quality of the two main principals, and in Bouton and the Welsh soprano Mari Wyn Williams who sang Lady Macbeth, MWO struck gold”

Only a few months ago we thought Mid Wales Opera was finished. Now, thanks to a funding lifeline from Powys County Council, we are within touching distance of having a sustainable plan to keep on producing live and local opera across Wales for at least three years.
