REVIEWS

“Surrounding them is the staging by Villalobos, who goes for a floor of black gravel and an edge-lit suspended cross whose symbolism is reinforced with the initial appearance of God uniting the couple in a heavenly creative act (...) Villalobos is a seasoned director who knows how to create believable spaces with minimum tools (...) An essentially potent staging.” ABC

 

“Stage director Rafael Villalobos accentuates the darker side of the story with a certain baroque touch, taking it closer to theatre than opera. A show of great richness with flashes of genius in its execution.” El País
