Reviews 

Director Martin Lloyd-Evans has created two distinct productions, each unique in tone and approach, with instant atmosphere produced by Yannis Thavoris’s playful designs: appropriately, a grimy padded cell for Donizetti, and a gilded cage of windows for The Dancing Master. Costumes are particularly lovely in both productions, as is the elegant lighting by Richard Howell.

Sets and costumes in both productions were terrific. Just as the padded walls which restrained those incarcerated in the asylum were replaced now by a glittering array of assorted window frames — through which the ‘imprisoned’ Miranda attempts escape and Gerard makes his gallant entrance — so the white lab coats and strait-jackets of the Institute were now replaced by more flamboyant attire. Miranda’s dresses hung from a rail, forming a colour chart of luxury from salmon pink to ebony black. The Hispanophile Diego donned a dashing matador’s regalia while ‘Monsieur’s’ cuffs and curls became ever more extravagant. (operatoday.com)
