Reviews:
Romsdals Budstikke:
"I've never been to an opera as humorous as this one....an imaginative scenography also contributes to this."
"...it works well that the chamber-orchestra is placed at the back of the stage, as part of the scenography, dressed in
operation-green clothing."
AdresseAvisen:
"Incredibly great and playful scenography."
"This piece will be shown on numerous stages in Norway in the time to come."
Tidens Krav:
"....a florid stage (always something strange to look at) ..."
