Reviews 

With brilliant direction and design by Stephen Barlow and Yannis Thavoris, (this double bill) is as good as anything this reviewer has seen the school offer in recent times.

Thavoris's beautiful set gives this simple tale a cinematic sweep (L’enfant)

... a brilliantly witty mix of the medieval and modern... a wonderfully inventive realisation that sees an exclusive fashion emporium followed by a wacky tennis tournament. (Francesca)

(What’s On Stage)


From the sublime to the fashion-fabulous. Wildly different and each superb, the duo makes for a moving and riotously funny evening, perfect for anyone whose approach to opera has got a bit stale (or a beginner who thinks opera might be dull: they will be swiftly and dramatically convinced otherwise!)

Yannis Thavoris’ minimalist set, with a dramatic silhouetted opening sequence lit by David Howe, illustrates the story without dominating it, and manages somehow to be both classically timeless and faintly French at the same time. (L’enfant)

Yannis Thavoris’ design is not just beautiful: it is visionary. Truly, one of the most exciting sets I have seen for a while, and he must be applauded. (Francesca) (bachtrack)
