A lovely little one-act opera based on scenes from Thomas Hardy novels, the titel role was written for Jane Manning who sings here. Musically it is a companion piece to Purcell's Dido and Aeneas with fragments of Purcell's mucic quoted in the epilogue and alluded to throughout.

“In the still undervalued genre of chamber opera, Fanny Robin deserves more frequent performances. Scottish Opera's production is captured to telling spatial effect.” - Richard Whitehouse (Gramophone)
