Leeuwarder Courant 'Donna Giovanna, a revolutionary experience. (...) In the staging of her current production, Donna Giovanna, she goes further than many contemporary directors. (...) Purists have a hard time in Spanga, but van Eijk's 'interventions' work. (...) And then there is the ingenious decor with its many curtains. An experience. And the acting ability demonstrated by the singers. Super.'
De Volkskrant 'The result is confrontational, at times even uncomfortable, but for that very reason alone essentially a success. (...) Macha and homos in a clever Mozart.'
NRC Handelsblad 'The performance is one long orgy, hilarious at times, a frontier-shifting manifestation of free love (viva la libertá) by comparison to which the riotous 70's pale. The interesting thing about the production is not merely that we hear tenors singing soprano roles, but also that we get a new, voyeuristic view of such well known characters revealing their secret passions.'
Dagblad van ’t Noorden 'In Spanga Mozart's drama giacoso has become (to say it in good German) a pure 'Lustspiel', at times almost slapstick, but indeed with the perfect timing required by that genre. In addition, the singing is good to remarkable, especially that of the ladies.'
Friesch Dagblad 'The decor, the costumes and the inventiveness with which the whole thing is put together are all special.'
