The absence of Sir John Eliot Gardiner did not impede a strong performance of Les Troyens on tour.

Dinis Souza, the assistant conductor, was loudly applauded.

Die Presse headlined the performance as ‘a complete success’. BildZeitung commented: ‘Sousa commanded the acute sound of the original instrument orchestra and the flawless Monteverdi Choir – both founded by Gardiner – with energy and dramatic flair.’

Other media reported standing ovations.
