"Both of these scores now seem like perfectly polished jewels, with the most beguiling melodic shapes and glittering instrumental textures...a masterpiece." The Sunday Times
"And if Netia Jones’s stagings take the breath away, so does the perfection of their meld with the music, as performed by the Britten Sinfonia under Ryan Wigglesworth’s incisive direction." ★★★★★ The Independent
"It’s a delight, with gorgeously sensual and richly textured music embodying a plot that illustrates the need that infants have for imaginative freedom as well as domestic security." ★★★★ The Telegraph
"The performances are outstanding" ★★★★ The Guardian
"Claire Booth and Lucy Schaufer, were first-rate, and the conductor, Ryan Wigglesworth, led the excellent Britten Sinfonia on aural flights of fancy." ★★★★ The Financial Times
"Brilliant, neat, enchanting, it was a superlative success" Telegraph Online
"The score...was a revelation: rich, colourful, sonorous, full of wit and sly reference, vivid in its tears and its smiles." The Observer
