SFCV :
" To his credit, stage director Christophe Gayral thought big without turning this tense and emotionally probing music drama into mere spectacle. Using minimal but striking set pieces to pointed effect, he created imaginative spaces for the action to play out...the director suggested not only palace rooms, parapets, and a riverbank, but shifts of hierarchy and power as well, leading at last to a stepped rotunda of justice, where a stirring ensemble brought the three-hour production to a mighty close.".
