“En route to the tying-up-the-knots finale, there are some vastly entertaining vocal and comic performances that hit the target nicely. In particular, there’s a big all-singing, all-dancing ensemble number in Act III in which the principals and the six male-to-female pages caper about in separate groups to Eleanor Strutt’s perplexingly intricate choreography. It’s a total knockout.”OPERA MAGAZINE
“Along with a perky line-up of female pages, the principals made a smart showing in Eleanor Strutt’s lively choreography.”PLANET HUGILL
“This was an engagingly fun evening in the theatre, with a production that brought out the zest and vigour of Offenbach’s music, small scale yet full of energy and with a terrific sense of engagement from all the performers.”
