PRESS
“★★★★ a director, James Bonas, who knew what he was doing... this is what operatic Handel is really about: endless pleasure, lashings of energy and a touch of pathos. In every respect, this team did him proud. It’s so good that you could go twice – once for each cast.”
— THE ARTS DESK
“★★★★ James Bonas directs with theatrical relish and visual flair”
— WHAT’S ON STAGE
“★★★★ sexy, unsettling music theatre... Bonas’s forest is a place of sinister magic, where crumbling inhibitions release violence as well as desire.”
— THE GUARDIAN
“★★★★ dark side is bought to the fore in James Bonas’ London Handel Festival staging... gripped, too, by the performances on stage: not just the singing but also the intense acting.”
— THE TIMES
“★★★★ an evening of sheer delight.”
— SUNDAY EXPRESS
“★★★★ a lost Handel opera proves a revelation... when this degree of vigour and imagination is lavished upon it... the evening flashed by... a remarkable achievement..”
— THE OBSERVER
