‘If Verdi had thought of scoring his most popular opera for a cast of seven with music arranged for piano, double bass, clarinet and accordion he might even have done it because the result – in the hands of this fine company – is delightful.’ - Susan Elkin reviews
'The small ensemble—piano, accordion, clarinet, and double bass—set the mood perfectly. The reduced orchestration never felt lacking; instead, it allowed the singers’ voices to shine, making each moment feel more raw and immediate.' - A Young(ish) Perspective
