To quote a caller to the box office.."I simply must come again this year to see Paul Carr's 𝑵𝒐𝒛𝒛𝒆 𝒅𝒊 𝑭𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒓𝒐. His 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒄 𝑭𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 at Dorset Opera Festival last year was the best production I've seen. And I know darling. I've seen it almost everywhere"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Off to direct Figaro @DorsetOpera - my 8th production there and my 3rd Mozart in a row; it remains for me, one of the UK’s most extraordinary and vibrant of opera festivals! #OPERA #Dorset
