The Rake's Progress

Igor Stravinsky/W.H.Ouden & C.Kallman

Tom Rakewell: 'Beware, young men who fancy you are Virgil or Julius Caesar, lest when you wake you be only a rake.'

´Van Eijk proves again to be at her best when she can do her own thing.´

NRC Handelsblad, 1993

´Van Eijk's style of making theater seems to defy labelling; it is all her own. This suited Stravinsky's music superbly.´

Trouw, 1993

´This is the most successful staging of the opera that I have ever seen, really the perfect foil to Stravinsky's music: simple and supercooled on the surface but on closer view full of refinement and eroticism.´

Parool, 1993
