“a masterpiece, a musical geyser of sixty minutes of compressed tragedy” - Zoltán Kodály, 1921

“Paula Murrihy remains relentlessly in the spotlight with eloquent expressiveness – hunting, creeping, crawling over the stage, dancing with the ensemble and singing easily and flexibly, just as is required... She embodies an almost inexhaustible range of characteristics: sexy, saucy, lascivious, seductive, cold blooded, self-centred, stubborn, strong” - Opernnetz

“Joshua Bloom, dashing and larger than life” - Opera
