"Both productions are modern-dress, directed by Stephen Medcalf, sharing a set (...) that is ingeniously adapted to suggest both the anarchic, nonconformist world of Aleko (with punks replacing the Roma people of Rachmaninov’s opera) and the sophisticated Florentine world of Schicchi (...) this double production cannot be recommended too urgently or ardently. ★★★★★"
Financial Times
"The premiere of Ariadne auf Naxos in the Haus für Mozart was a triumph.
The first moments of Stephen Medcalf's production set the tone: He uses irony to show the possible in the seemingly impossible. His concept offers a detailed and conclusive interpretation."
Krone Salzburg
"Both tragedy, then comedy, are given full rein across the evening in these very effective stagings ★★★★★"
Bachtrack
"Classical Glyndebourne at its greatest. A Figaro to fall in love with."
The Observer
"...simply and ingeniously staged by Stephen Medcalf..."
The Sunday Times
"Grange Park’s season opens with a double bill crafted around the talents of Bryn Terfel – all-round sophisticated exuberance. ★★★★★"
