Pinchgut knocked it out of the park again. Lindy Hume’s direction, Tony Assness’s set, Alistair Trung’s costumes and Matthew Marshall’s lighting were perfectly judged to make virtues of the City Recital Hall’s strict limitations for dramatic presentation.
The Australian
The fine production by Lindy Hume had all the hallmarks of her outstanding and well-proven ability to get to the essence of the drama of whatever work she is directing. With designers Tony Assness, Alistair Trung and Matthew Marshall, she made very effective use of what is a difficult space in which to stage opera.
The Conversation
A near perfect production. Director Lindy Hume… moulds her characters with a rare simplicity to form arresting tableaux. The women's chorus, for example, fans out behind Iphigénie like an extension of her train, or grabs Orestes in a jail-like mesh of arms, gilding the drama with elegant hysteria.

Culture, music, storytelling, dance and image-making have been practiced on Country for millennia by Australia's First People. I acknowledge and pay respect to the original custodians of Culture and Country where I live in Tathra, the Djiringanj people of the Yuin Nation on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, and the palawa/pakana, First People of lutruwita Tasmania.
