"Lindy Hume’s latest production of the work for NZ Opera is a dazzling piece of theatre with extraordinary voices and inspired acting."
NZ Arts Review
"New Zealand Opera’s new production of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro … is a production well worth waiting for, as the refreshing direction and production and wonderful ensemble cast and a production that brought the masterpiece to life to a rare extent."
Bachtrack
"Ravishingly full of fun, the production was thoroughly engaging in every sense. Lindy Hume director and Zeniodi created clear co-ordination between pit and stage. And with the extraordinary sets and costumes of Tracey Lord Grant and the lighting vision of Matthew Marshall, it was striking teamwork."
Classical Chromatics
"Lindy Hume’s staging of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, her seventh engagement with New Zealand Opera, marks a glorious, life-affirming return to mainstage productions. Once again, the Australian takes a feminist stance on a classic that English writer Virginia Woolf once hailed as the vindication of opera."
NZ Herald
"This version of the opera – despite being centred around Figaro and his marriage to the beautiful and desired Susanna – is led magnificently by its strong female characters, and this is mirrored on stage in the performances of the cast as well as being supported by the female dominated creative team."
