'This is the kind of show that simultaneously restores your faith in human nature and the Fringe .' The Telegraph on DIRTY GREAT LOVE STORY

'Only a first rate production can release the full power of Massenet’s Werther; luckily, Scottish Opera's new production is just that ... a sensitive and intelligent production directed by newcomer Pia Furtado' The Telegraph on WERTHER
