Barrie Kosky’s darkly romantic interpretation of the Czech fairytale material conjures up sensual, powerful images which followed the melancholy poetry of Dvořák’s music and irresistibly captivate the audience. “Moments of almost surreal beauty, with the action remaining – as appropriate for fairytales – equally poetic and mysterious”.
