| 10 Oct 15 / Music OMH |
Some fine singing, but the title character fails to stir the emotions |
| 10 Oct 15 / The Stage |
this pared down staging is likely to prove strange to those coming to it for the first time |
| 10 Oct 15 / Classical Source |
Emotional power despite the reductions |
| 6 Oct 15 / The Guardian |
