Scottish Opera’s third staging of Fidelio, this time by Tim Albery, opened at the Edinburgh Festival. It had many good ideas, but didn't quite gel. The main weakness of casting was the Florestan, who had an unpleasantly whiny tone that failed to inspire sympathy. The look of the staging was also more coherent on revival.
