“Cenerentola is a triumph, not only artistic but intellectual as well. The director Rodula Gaitanou gave us a production full of thoughtful and emotional pleasure. Nobody could find a flaw in this well refined world, presenting Cenerentola in the 1930s.” – Nikos Vatopoulos, Kathimerini
“For the rest, very pleasing and rich coloristic and narrative flair are the scenes and lighting by Simon Corder…” – Roberto Calogiuri, ilfriuliveneziagiulia.it
“A triumphant Rossini’s Cinderella at the Verdi in Trieste… The non-beautiful scenes of Simon Corder perhaps tend to excessive gloom but are functional to the directorial design.” Paolo Locatelli – ildiscorso.it
