The HBL reviewer was not modest in his homage after last year’s opera premiere: “The whole ensemble in the new opera is particularly impressive with its high quality. Many of the singers are Olander with a world career. More than a man the choir and orchestra were very professional and directed by Ida Kronholm provided the story With a really very precise fist. Thus, no matter how tragic these frightening events were, Hollande could have celebrated its centenary.”
