“This co-production with Opera Queensland and Seattle Opera is the most lavish production you’re likely to see from NZ Opera this year and it will fill your soul with colour. Setting the show alight was the lighting design by Matthew Marshall which glowed on a gorgeous set designed by Tracy Grant Lord. One of the most richly lit productions in Auckland in recent years, it added depth and beauty to the stage. At times it was as if the stage was a collection of jewel boxes glowing with colour.”
Clare Martin, www.radio13.co.nz
