"Theodosakis opts for charm in her production, and she maintains high stakes for the characters without letting the show as a whole take itself too seriously." - Jenna Simneov, Schmopera

"Tonight I saw a production with style & wit whose chief ambition was to make us laugh: and it succeeded admirably because it was unafraid of sometimes being totally silly.

I felt the greatest possible surrender to that impulse in this production, a fearless embrace of the wacky and the whimsical...Director Anna Theodosakis took this to the next level... it was executed with complete abandon and commitment." - Leslie Barcza, barczablog

"Anna Theodosakis chooses to set the work circa 1920s with an aesthetic that’s a mix of silent movie and stage farce...it’s well timed, a must for comedy, and briskly paced." - John Gilks, Opera Ramblings
