"[Rufus has] written a love song to opera, soaked in the perennial operatic themes of loss, betrayal, delusion and nostalgia, and saturated in the musical styles of opera's golden age."
The Times UK
"There are inspired touches and disarmingly beautiful passages in this mysterious, stylistically eclectic work."
New York Times
"There are yearning arias, powerful ensemble singing... the orchestra, neither intrusive nor over-attentive bring flurries and thunder tenderness with strings, arguments punctuated by trumps of bassoon."
The Observer UK
“A show to enlighten music fans of all persuasions”
