'Press
'the chorus was utilised amusingly in this realm, bustling as a press conference for the wedding announcement, and with kitschy dance moves, choreographed by Monica Nicolaides, charmingly performed during the sung ensembles.... the young singers are tasked with trusting their physicality, mixing stillness with blocking and gesture.' (★★★★, Opera Now)
'a moving, committed performance, with vigorous chorus work and punchy but subtle orchestral playing.' (★★★★ Observer)
'Stylishly modern and exploring gender boundaries, this was a production that took its energy from the sheer youth of the performers' (Planet Hugill)
