"beautifully designed by Leslie Travers and lit by Matthew Marshall”
"The creative team around chief conductor Hannu Lintu and chief director Thomas de Mallet Burgess with Leslie Travers (set design), Tracy Grant Lord (costume design), Matthew Marshall (light design) and Sue Mythen (movement director) created a powerful production about modern characters dealing with personal matters and crisis’ while at the same time trying to make sense of the world."
“Leslie Travers’s designs made effective but subtle use of
the stage revolve, solving logistical problems in a fast-paced opera, while his forest of gradually-descending upside-down trees provide a striking visual counterpoint to the
steadily-increasing nuclear power of the star, especially when bathed in Matthew Marshall’s beautiful lighting”
