Festival Opera in 'Opera' Magazine | |

The Festival's Opera Turn of the Screw has received a glowing review
in the October Issue of Opera magazine:
"Saks's Turn of the Screw
was up close and personal, unflinchingly, uncomfortably challenging at every turn.
An international cast of young but experienced singers seized the opportunities
offered by a five- week rehearsal period and offered mesmerising portrayals in
which acting and singing were inseparable.
From Aberdeen but every inch the
English public schoolboy, Angus Forfar looked like a creepily stretched Harry
Potter and was a very knowing Miles.
In giving these young musicians - and
their audience - this unforgettable experience, Opera Garden contributed much
to the 2006 International Youth Festival. This was as original and complete a
realisation of Britten's masterpiece as one could hope for. Haunting indeed"
