”… the real, mordent power of the work lies in the music, which is delivered with great energy under conductor Ingar Bergby.”
- ”Ketil Hugaas is immensely moving as Dr P.” - ”A fine revival of a fascinating and highly original piece of music theatre.”
Andrew Clements, The Guardian 20.6.2001
”Pacing, and the building and release of tension, is all. And Michael McCarthy’s strong and simple production for the Norwegian
company Opera Vest (…) understands this entirely.” - ”Julian Pike as Dr S skilfully treads the perilous tightrope between
medical omniscience and metaphysical bafflement. Ketil Hugaas, a huge and resonant Norwegian bass, gives a hugely yet subtly
moving performance as Dr P. And his poor wife is played with restrained sadness by Itziar Martinez Galdos.” - ”The seven players
of the fine Bergen-based BIT20 Ensemble, (…) conducted with robust passion by Ingar Bergby, prove the point.”
Hilary Finch, The Times 22.6.2001
