“...the director's detailed engagement and sense of fun cleaned the varnish off the glorious old group portrait, revealing the bright colours underneath. I can hardly imagine a happier introduction for newcomers of the opera, or a more refreshing return for old hands.”

- Opera Magazine

“a sleek and lithe production, moving at terrific pace…and positively fizzing with humour throughout.”

— OperaWire

“'Wish you were here!' proclaims the picture-postcard front drop. Audiences around the country certainly will wish they were!”

— OperaToday

“ The giddy energy coming off this show and the obvious delight the cast take in each other is irresistible… It’s simple, colourful and (im)properly uproarious.”

— The Spectator

“a delightful production of Mozart's fabulously entertaining romcom” 

— The Telegraph

“…crisp, playful, joyful, unfussy musical theatre. Prioritising text and drama while eschewing gimmicky concepts, Attridge and ETO let the opera sing. I don’t know when I’ve enjoyed a Cosi more…”

— The Arts Desk

“a sparkling production”

— The Article

“ Attridge makes no excuses for what modern audiences perceive, reasonably enough, to be the opera’s sexism. It is what it is and she embraces it, trusting the scenario to deliver on its own terms. And deliver it does…

Catch it if you can.”
