‘In terms of performances of opera from all periods, this was on the finest on a purely dramatic level I have attended, anywhere.’

‘Bajazet shows how much can be done when opera is stripped back to bodies and voices making the most concentrated and calculated of gestures. A bracing evening, and reminder of how much more less really can be.’

‘It’s about outsize characters, extreme emotions and - in Adele Thomas’s gleefully physical direction - the pleasure of watching everyone on stage knocking seven bells out of each other in flashing coloratura. This was headlong, red-blooded fun.’
