Ravel"s two one-act operas reunited in 2012 director Laurent Pelly and conductor Kazushi Ono, who made their Glyndebourne debuts in 2008 with Humperdinck"s Hansel und Gretel. While L"enfant et les sortileges shares with that opera a child"s-eye view of a sometimes threatening world, L"heure espagnole is a thoroughly adult confection. Pelly addresses Ravel"s very different operas with imagination, wit and - when required - humanity.
