NZZ, 23.05.23

«Titov creates a work of art in which the characters always have the right costume on in the right scene - or expose themselves to match the music.»
Tages-Anzeiger, 23.05.23

«A very successful production.»
Deutschlandfunk, 22.05.23

«Israeli conductor Ilan Volkov has a confident grip on the proceedings at all times, with a great sense of the shimmering soundscapes and orchestral colors that Benjamin invented.»
