"Different tones abound in a production of mongrel vigour." EVENING STANDARD
"Ravenhill strips the story to its core themes: lust, greed and the ruthless pursuit of power." FINANCIAL TIMES
"Rebecca Caine's scorned wife Ottavia pulled at the heart-strings... There's a quirkiness to this opera/jazz hybrid, backed by some seriously first-rate singing, that is invigorating, entertaining but above all accessible." THE PUBLIC REVIEWS
"Bonner's refined artistry is matched by that of Rebecca Caine as Ottavia." THE INDEPENDENT
"Proves perfectly apt for the pub-theatre context... there's a degree of truthful intimacy that registers as both natural and immediate." THE GUARDIAN
"Despite its fidelity to Monteverdi's 369-years-old original work, this is a production as contemporary as anything." Broadwayworld.com
