Comments on Unexpected Opera's A PASTORAL MESSIAH
from our audience and participants in Mickleham, 20 November 2011
“"a wonderfully conceived interpretation, profoundly moving and very high quality indeed”"
“"I came to the Pastoral Messiah at Mickleham and just wanted to let you know how marvellous
I thought it was. I brought three friends with me and we all found it very moving and
beautifully done. What a stroke of genius to have thought of that way of presenting it.”"
“"I have never felt so emotional listening to or singing the Messiah. I am sure this will become
a Xmas classic and many choral societies or maybe schools will want to participate.”"
"Just to say this was the most unexpected and utterly delightful experience. Would gladly see Pastoral Messiah again. Also any other productions. Keep me informed."
"“the most AMAZING production this evening!!I SO enjoyed it –- it truly was spectacular!!”"
“"I saw the above at Mickleham church on Sunday and found it enchanting,
very clever and beautifully sung. Many congratulations."
"The friends I had in the audience were absolutely bowled over by it.”"
"“My family said the sound was wonderful. They were intensely moved
and thought it was an amazing experience.”"
"“The folk who came to listen last night were thrilled…. One was very moved by the story,
which he hadn’'t expected to enjoy as he is ‘a bit of a purist!”"
"“The soloists were just wonderful. I cried for most of the last part. And, if someone had said
4 yrs ago, that I would be part of such a thing, I would have laughed.”"
"“Not only were the soloists first rate singers but their delivery and connection with the audience was incredibly moving. I look forward to seeing their names in major venues in the future. “"
