Reviews

• An opera which powerfully heightens its prison story with restraint and simplicity. I can imagine it being spine-chillingly effective in a simple staging.
  Michael Olivier, Gramophone, 01/10/2001
• A wonderful, yet disturbing, opera that hopefully will be staged again soon.
  David Hackbridge Johnson, Classical Music Web, 01/10/2001
• High and lowbrow culture meet in this work which puts on display the anguished soul of a dethroned queen.

• Not only does Andy Pape serve up a mesh of musical styles, he also manages to elegantly combine classic opera with the ballad-genre.
  **** (4 out of 6 stars)
  
  Carl Skøtt, Nordjyske Stiftstidende, 14/06/2001
• This is opera for everybody.
  **** (4 out of 6 stars)
  
  Gregers Dirckinck-Holmfeld, Ekstra Bladet , 30/03/1999
• A psychological drama of the kind Benjamin Britten was so adept at in his best operas. All in all, this is a tremendous achievement.
  Guy Rickards, Tempo
• Dramatic, however also surprisingly humorous. Once again, Andy Pape has managed to combine high and lowbrow aesthetics – and the result is not too shabby.
  **** (4 out of 5 stars)

• A sweepingly elegant piece of musical drama.
