Press

'This Falstaff had the audience laughing heartily and louder than I ever heard in Amsterdam with Rossini stagings by Dario Fo.'

Nieuwsblad van het Noorden, July 1997

'I was swept off my feet by this Falstaff. (...) I have rediscovered the Spanga celebration, and I know that I will become totally addicted to it.'

Groene Amsterdammer, July 1997

'Her staging offers an enchanting series of comic ideas, imaginative and far from conventional. In addition, the music of the Spanga Festival Orchestra is at times enchanting.'

De Volkskrant, July 1997
