I was there on Friday night and can report it was being recorded, presumably for Radio 3, although there was nothing mentioned in the programme. Radio 3's Opera on 3 page has it listed for broadcast on the 22nd of November which, being a Saturday, seems more likely than the Guardian's stab at the 3rd!

Juan Diego Florez in stunning form, btw, as was Aleksandra Kurzak as Matilde.

A typically waspish review from Edward Seckerson in the Independent, whilst Richard Morrison's review in The Times is spot on, especially about Florez's excellent comic acting: "Think of Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham and you’ll have some idea of how Flórez plays the grumpy, misogynistic and ever-so-slightly blood-crazed nobleman Corradino"!

I thought this was generally very good.  It's a really fun piece: second-rate Rossini perhaps but with suitably bonkers plot and full of great ensembles.  JDF sang very well and was a surprisingly good actor given we have to believe someone who looks as fierce as the Andrex puppy is a man with a 'heart of iron'.  Vesselina Kasarova was pretty decent too, on the night I heard her.  Aleksandra Kurzak, who was good in L’Elisir d’Amore recently, was absolutely superb as everyone has said.  Alfonso Antoniozzi was hammy and dreadful, the other men adequate.

The staging didn't add much to the proceedings (but probabably cost a packet) and it was 'semi-directed', as if Mario Martone had about 60 minutes of ideas per half but couldn't sustain the full act.
