July 20th we played the first performance of Jevgeni Onegin. The press in attendance wrote:

Dagblad van het Noorden***** | Rudolph Nammensma
"The musical director managed to add charm to the score and, where the dance parts were concerned, to exploit the contagiousness."
"In places where the opera prescribes intimate moments, Spanga repeatedly and successfully pulled out all the stops to hold the audience's attention. The direction remained agile, the dance did its job, as did the convincing choir and Monsieur Triquet, beautifully performed by a woman.”

Theaterkrant | Luke Verpaalen
"The collaboration with Ivgi&Greben is a golden opportunity."
"Beautiful voices that are dynamically supported by the orchestra conducted by Tjalling Wijnstra. And all that in a tent in the Frisian countryside. It remains a small miracle."

Friesch Dagblad | Jelle Terwal

"Opera Spanga, in collaboration with Ivgi&Greben , once again manifests itself in the opera field in a spectacular way."
