2005 | LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD AND THE (GOOD) WOLF
"This goes to prove that opera can be alive, fresh and full of humour; that it can matter to young people, who would never have thought to 'entertain' themselves with such a spectacle; that one can rid it of the pretentiousness and the sterile atmosphere of the National Opera and the Concert Hall." athinorama.gr - Viewers' comments
