Betrothal in a Monastery
Prokofiev's sparkling opera, sung in Russian and set in Seville, is centred on the beautiful Louisa, whose father is determined to marry her off to a rich but ugly fish merchant, Mendoza. Recorded at Glyndebourne earlier this year, and presented by Stephanie Hughes.
Glyndebourne Chorus, London Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Vladimir Jurowsky
