“It appears to be right up the alley of conductor Karel Deseure, who has previously been a guest at Opera Zuid in the successful production A Quiet Place. With a clear conducting style and a dynamic that acquires a visual counterpart in his increasingly vibrating head of hair, he propels the South Netherlands Philharmonic to a blazing shape. The miracle the work calls for happens: wonder transforms into mystery, alienation turns into enchantment.”

De Limburger, Maurice Wiche
