Roberto Mori in L'opera, No. 237, says:«... if the virtual that is put to the service of the television and cinema language has already given interesting results to creative level, in the theater of work these potentialities still are poorly explored.»
«To the Teatro Sociale of Rovigo the worth must be recognized to have realized, in collaboration with the Teatro del Giglio of Lucca and the orchestra of the Teatro Olimpico of Vicenza a project that is revealed under this interesting and instructive aspect.»
«Here then the stage installation in its real concreteness replaced by video interactive 3D projections that not only recreate some environments and foreshortenings of landscape ...»
«... but they also allow the illusionistic bustle of the characters from the real dimension of the stage until the video animated one of the screen.»
«The general effect is frankly realistic and traditional. The outside and the insides of the building of the Duke of Mantua materialize themselves in every detail, the waters of the Mincio flow between vapors and hazes, while in the sky they grow thick threatening clouds.»
«Considered that also the direction by Dieter Kaegi has an imprint as many traditional and realistic, the operation in its complex reveals to be functional, technologically advanced, profitable for the structure of the whole production.
