"It is a fine company with an enviable reputation and some altogether excellent principal dancers: Lisa Apple's Helena and Julie Tobiason's Hermia are particularly fine, and the scene between Titania and Bottom is most affecting. The fairy scenes are imaginatively handled and staged." (The Penguin Guide)

"... lavish ... full of colour and brilliant images ... Such productions surely guarantee the survival of classical ballet well into the next millennium." (Morning Star (USA))

"Skirting the stage with razor sharp jetés, Seth Belliston (as Puck) made a terrific impact." (The Stage)
