Laurent Pelly on Glyndebourne’s Ravel Double Bill
The Glyndebourne Festival highlight this year could be the Ravel double bill – L’heure espagnole and L’enfant et les sortilËges. Laurent Pelly directs. Anyone who saw his brilliant Humperdinck Hansel und Gretel at Glyndebourne in 2008 will know what to expect – a staging of great imagination and verve, true to the spirit of the composer.
