She is "well matched by Sarah Power's mysterious Euridice" (Sunday Independent). Emma Nash is a "powerfully soaring Amore" (Sunday Independent)\, and the production also features an ensemble of four singers and four United Fall dancers who "beautifully amplify the libretto" (The Independent). \n\n\n\nThe power of the Orpheus myth lies in its balance between mortality and hope\, transcendence and love.
