Over the past seven years, opera at Grange Park has covered a wide repertory - not just rarities but popular favourites and musicals, too. This year all three of those categories are covered.

Wonderful Town, from 1953, is a musical based on the play My Sister Eileen, which Leonard Bernstein, in collaboration with his regular lyricists, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, wrote in only four weeks. The vigour of the writing, not just music but words too, reflects their white-hot inspiration.

The role of Ruth, the elder of two sisters from Ohio who are seeking to make their fortunes in New York, is warmly taken at Grange Park by Mary King. She is nicely contrasted with the glamorous sister, Eileen, sung superbly by Sophie Daneman.With Richard Balcombe conducting the Orchestra of Grange Park, excellent ensemble work is the key to the production's success - not least in first-rate contributions from the chorus, who take on a surprisingly wide range of roles. That includes a posse of Brazilian sailors who, with Eileen at their head, lead the whole company - plus audience members - into a conga around the theatre as the finale of act one.

The updating of Rossini's Cenerentola in Nigel Lowery's production is far less successful, if only because would-be clever ideas come so thick and fast that the music gets submerged - despite the lively conducting of Sergio La Stella and a fair team of soloists led by Deanne Meek as Cenerentola. The updating into modern dress means that instead of a glass slipper you have one of Cinderella's trainers and, with most of the cast also wearing trainers, the obsession with footwear becomes tiresome.

It makes a lively enough evening, but with Rossini's version of the Cinderella story not even involving magic, the lesson should be to leave well alone.

· Wonderful Town is in rep until Wednesday, and Cenerentola until July 5. Box office: 01962 868600.
