Carmen y el Destripador
21 Nov 17 / Mundo Clásico (Spanish)
Bizet's masterpiece with a twist
12 Nov 17 / Express
A tongue-in-cheek revival of a radical reimagining of Bizet
11 Nov 17 / The Stage
Bizet’s score is given an almost jazzy spin
7 Nov 17 / Independent
The production and its values leave something to be desired
7 Nov 17 / Music OMH
The Royal Opera's young artists in Peter Brook's reduction of Bizet's opera
6 Nov 17 / What's on Stage
Tragedy undermined
6 Nov 17 / Bachtrack
It will take more than a surprising drum roll to overcome this show’s biggest drawback, emotional distance
6 Nov 17 / The Times
Opera on an unforgivingly small scale
6 Nov 17 / The Guardian
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
5 Nov 17 / Classical Source
Great singing but little dramatic impact
5 Nov 17 / Telegraph
