OresteThe Royal OperaNo. of reviews: 10 | |
An intriguing vehicle for today’s new talent |
 21 Nov 16 / The Observer |
Director Gerard Jones has done no favours to the singers or Handel with a bloodspattered cartoon like production |
| 20 Nov 16 / Express |
Oreste is an opera by Handel that is rarely seen, and for a logical reason: it is hardly an opera at all |
| 17 Nov 16 / Express |
Strong singing, if not fine-tuned to Handel, and playing at odds with hollow production |
| 11 Nov 16 / The Arts Desk |
A comic-strip bloodbath |
| 11 Nov 16 / Opera Today |
Oreste is an opera of opposites |
| 11 Nov 16 / A Younger Theatre |
A Handel-Mad Max mash-up |
| 10 Nov 16 / Independent |
Compelling and revolting; whether it serves Handel is another matter |
| 10 Nov 16 / The Guardian |
The Royal Opera's young artists are put through the wringer in a misguided Handel production |
| 10 Nov 16 / What's on Stage |
Gerard Jones’s work stimulates and provokes just as opera should |
