The November 2007 production was Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, in English.
"It's gratifying to be able to report that Hampstead Garden Opera's interpretation was thoroughly enjoyable. It was even tempting to return another evening. The well lit production was thought-provoking, the singing of a uniformly high standard, and the orchestral playing well up to previous high levels" – Edmund Gordon for "The Buzz".
"A small-scale production which suited the piece very well. Musical support was excellent with a good balance between the orchestra and the stage. Outstanding chorus work complemented some memorable prinicipal performances. One of the best productions of this work I have seen." – Paul Holgate for "NODA".
