Ariadne auf Naxos

PRESS

Trouw, 1994
'Van Eijk has studied this Strauss score in minute detail and to a greater extent than anyone I have seen struggle with this work in recent years…'

Leeuwarder Courant, September 1994
'She has studied this score down to the minutest detail and has succeeded, more than anyone I have seen taking on this work in the last years, in giving structure to this chaotic, adapted musical experiment which can be a surprise to those encountering it for the first time.'

Nieuwsblad van het Noorden, September 1994
'…It would be a good thing for one of the productions which she has concocted to be shown everywhere. Even though not all of her ideas are successful in every respect, the fact remains that her way of doing opera is in any event extremely refreshing.'

Zwolse Courant, September 1994
'Van Eijk knows very well how to engage the audience with original ideas, such as the toilet, which not only stimulates the impulses but also exerts an irresistible attraction on the world-weary composer.'
