"Between white paradises and fantastical lands, the finely crafted staging by James Bonas and his accomplice Grégoire Pont (videographer and animation creator) magnificently translates the world of Abrahamsen."
LE MONDE
"In this production, the audience was alert until the loud applause at the end, mainly thanks to the magnificent staging by James Bonas. Beneath apparent simplicity the director and his team created a dreamlike universe well suited to Andersen's tale."
OPERA ACTUAL
"The original creation of James Bonas and Grégoire Pont is all the more to be welcomed, as it serves as a wonderful counterpoint, so that we universally want this Snow Queen to become a classic of the repertoire... It cannot be highly recommended enough that you should go and immerse yourself in this lyrical and dreamlike fairy tale."
