★★★★★ BRITISHTHEATRE.COM

“THIS PRODUCTION THOROUGHLY WON ME OVER TO A CHAMBER-SCALE PERFORMANCE OF THE WORK – IT ENHANCES THE DRAMA BY DRAWING YOU IN, WHILE LOSING LITTLE RESONANCE IN THE REDUCTION OF ORCHESTRAL SCALE”

“WE LEFT WITH LOTS TO THINK ABOUT AND THE MEMORY OF A RIGOROUS, TECHNICALLY IMPRESSIVE, AND DEMANDING PERFORMANCE – IN THE BEST SENSE.”

★★★★ PLAYS TO SEE

“IN THIS FINE VERSION – PRESENTED BY GREEN OPERA FOR THE GRIMEBORN FESTIVAL – THE CLAUSTROPHOBIC STUDIO AT THE ARCOLA PROVES TO BE AN IDEAL SPACE TO INTENSIFY THE LOOMING SENSE OF DOOM THAT BUILDS THROUGH THE OPERA”.
