“The spectator suddenly finds himself in a blistering rollercoaster that shatters just about every theatre and opera convention. Moreover, male roles are performed magnificently by ladies - and vice versa. Singing supports the whole. "Dieu vous pardonne" or "Je vais l'adorer" echo like compelling mantras throughout the characters' antics. Meanwhile, the actors turn their text pages emphatically, appear to be debating phrases invented on the spot, or tilt from exuberant joy into unfathomable tristesse at will."
Shakespeare in the manner of Berlioz: musical theatre Walpurgis serves tantalising "amuse"! - Frank Kloeck - 't Periodiekske - 20.10.2015

"Wonderful performance! Spiteful dialogues, heavenly chants and tingling piano music alternate. Inventive direction, yet with plenty of room for improvisation, which the actors and opera soloists also use in unseen - and unheard - ways. Sometimes subtly, sometimes hilariously. In the audience, you are constantly left curious about what will happen on stage the next minute. A festive performance that will make even a brick happy. Do yourself a favour and don't miss them!" Wim, visitor

"I enjoyed Beatrice and Benedict immensely. It was fantastic, such fun to play and such quality. It will definitely encourage me to come to the FENIKS FESTIVAL again." Thea, visitor

"Highly recommended. Even if, like me, you don't know a thing about opera. A thoroughly enjoyable story, enormously funny presentation, an initiation to opera that only makes you want more." Marc, visitor

"This libretto reading is a drug that will really make you lol. Go see it!" Jelle Van Riet, author/journalist

"It was wonderful again!!!" Patrick and Linda, visitors

"It was a fantastic interplay, wonderful comedy acting, singing and music. Laughter all around. It was a true delight to me." Seppe

"The libretto reading was another hit: not just funny or beautiful, but layered, visually beautiful, good narrators, beautiful voices, poignant, mocking, sometimes cynical and stimulating to the imagination!"  Hans
