Impassioned, luscious and fragile all at once… Opera Theatre Company has got this  just right Belfast Telegraph

An unrelenting and gripping piece of theatre that will lodge, somewhat  uncomfortably perhaps, in the minds of all those who saw it. Irish Examiner

Indeed the music and singing were so good overall that they provided the driving  force for a terrific night’s entertainment. Sunday Business Post

Monteverdi's masterpiece, composed amidst the heady materialism of seventeenth century Venice, is a shockingly modern tale of naked lust and ruthless ambition.  In this world of sensuality and depravity, power is exercised without responsibility and lust triumphs over reason.
