Last night at #ROHAriadne reminded me why I fell in love with opera: a piece new to me, perfectly sung, played and staged, transported me.

Wonderful scenes last night at #ROHariadne Woderfully sung and performed, with the emotion almost cathcing you off-guard. Beautiful.

They don't make 'em like that anymore - Karita Mattila in sovereign voice. Absolutely glorious, thrilling #ROHariadne @TheRoyalOpera

She snatches breaths in places she shouldn't, and doesn't even attempt to float the high Bb's, but Karita is still GLORIOUS in #ROHAriadne.

At her curtain call Karita Mattila seemed overwhelmed by our ovations. She deserved them all. Great depth and poise from her in #ROHAriadne.

Truro NS @ArchibaldJane an irresistible Zerbinetta she has all the notes & uses them fully & fuses text & music. Stunning. #ROHAriadne

Really enjoyed #ROHAriadne last night! Interesting opera, sublime music. Shame audience couldn't contain clapping until end though
