"Opera Theatre Company has a serious pedigree in Handel repertoire and down the years it has shown an adventurous spirit in converting the nobel Prussian’s mythological meanderings to modern taste. "

"Plenty of gorgeously ornate music and arias come quickly on tap with a top form Irish Baroque Orchestra very much on familiar territory here delivering a performance of pure quality that never dipped below dazzling."

"A splendidly entertaining reimagining by director Tom Creed"

"The energy and engagement is palpable… richly expressive… superb"

"Very rewarding Eamonn Mulhall and Susanna Fairbairn handsomely lead OTC’s well-chosen cast with both spinning their beguiling lines with unfailing graciousness. "

"Opera Theatre Company's production of the 1718 work was outstanding. The endless joys of Handel’s sublime music were matched by stunning performances both by the Irish Baroque Orchestra conducted by Peter Whelan and by the singers, leaving behind a lasting trail of emotion."

"The daring new experiment by Opera Theatre Company under the direction of Tom Creed does nothing but confirming the universality of great art."

"Tenor Eamonn Mulhall dazzled in the role of Acis, both for his distinctively warm tone and for the psychological depth of his flawless interpretation. Finally the chorus was at any given point powerful and punchy. "

"The show had a really electric feeling about it, and left me wanting to see it again. This one should not be missed and is testament to the creativity and vitality of Fergus Sheil’s Opera Theatre Company. Ad maiora!"

"Simply brims with Handelian favourites, and Whelan gauges their moods and colours with consistent elan."
