Reviews

Martin Dreyer, Opera Magazine
“Janáček’s vulpine adventures perfectly mirrored the delights of Ryedale in a canny new production by Joe Austin… A poignant and rewarding show. ”

David Denton, Yorkshire Post * * * * 
“Of the many productions  [of Vixen] I have seen, Ryedale Festival Opera’s budget performance is among the most enjoyable… Joe Austin’s imaginative and delightful production.”
