Gulyás Gábor, Papago, “Clean hands,” January 13, 2019
“…a spectacular project…a non-typical opera…outside of musical genre here in a particularly compelling way, given the question of opera vs. operetta of the Operetta Theater, and that the female chorus and soloists give the overture and the main themes.”
“The narrative is not lost in details (dramaturg: Diána Mátrai Eszter). The story is not the least ornate; we don’t see much about how Semmelweis gets to his current renown; neither is the emphasis on the psychological analysis of his madness. The work focuses more on highlighting truths beyond the specific cases, and this gives the basis of the direction of Martin Boross.”
“The world-class, beautiful video (Dávid Maruscsák) also serve the purpose”
