‘A tight, energised entertainment that is a fine addition to the company’s catalogue’ – Music: ★★★★ | Staging: ★★★★
Opera Now
‘Visually and musical arresting… a strong musical experience.’
The Stage
‘Continues a tradition of exposing audiences to opera that challenges and entertains.’
Opera Journal
‘There are flamboyant costumes and characters, fabulous singing and sets, a story that entertains, and a wealth of local talent throwing themselves into the performance.’
Alan in Belfast
“It is during the musical numbers, performed wonderfully by the cast and a band… that the production excels. This is where Walter Sutcliffe gets the best from his cast and turns the play’s generic ambiguity into a strength.”
