„Superb Theatre (...) The best theater always arises from the intensity of the people. This intensity was extraordinarily high at the Premiere of this sustainable production at the Oper Leipzig. (...) Even the few idyllic moments, from which further tragic blooms sprout into a Machiavellian garden of torments, are given a ruthless edge by Ilaria Lanzino. The premiere was met with great, jubilant success.”

Die Deutsche Bühne

"A intriguing production, (...) the ending was also effective (...) not only in this scene does this spectacularly directed and visually powerful evening unfold an enormous pull.”
