The Daily Telegraph
"The performance is charged with rough-edged vitality, crisply directed and inventively designed. 
[...] the essence of Carmen is here, delivered with energy and panache." Rupert Christiansen

"The main success though was the fantastic energy brought to this zippy, fast paced chamber opera. The audience were experiencing the traditional operatic whirlwind of emotions, but in double time. [...] Whether you’re an opera purist or not, this Carmen is worth a visit to see electricity bouncing around the stage." Louise Lewis
