Reviews of *
* “Everything was just right, and the lively pacing made even some vocal weaknesses seem insignificant. Christof Cremer’s excellent set design was also ideal.”

“For in his production of *Gianni Schicchi*—visually appealing and set against a backdrop ranging from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century—the resulting high-octane farce overshadows much of the poetry inherent in this brilliant opera. But admittedly: the slapstick works.” (Die Presse, print edition, February 28, 2011)
