Critics

‘Mariame Clément’s thoughtful staging brings depth and insights’

– The Guardian

‘the excellent debut conductor Evan Rogister, who sets cracking speeds and coaxes fine sonorities from the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.’

– Daily Telegraph

‘Mariame Clément’s thought-provoking production…asks at what point a sexually charismatic man becomes a predator.’

– Evening Standard

‘The stunning direction is underpinned by performances that are as exquisite in ensemble as they are as solos.’

– The Arts Desk

‘Andrey Zhilikhovsky was magnetic in the title role’

– Bachtrack

‘Best of the team are Victoria Randem’s sparky Zerlina and Michael Mofidian’s Masetto, both alert and wise to their mistreatment.’

Don Giovanni is on stage until 15 July 2023
