"The front row of the audience is so close to the singers that they could easily join in the singing, costumes, lights and production values are just as high quality as at ENO or ROH."- Adrian Mourby for Inside Out Luxury Magazine
"Hampstead Garden Opera at Upstairs at the Gatehouse has been proving for 22 years that you can perform with respect and honour with young professionals in a back room; for a start they take the pieces - and the old stuff like musical standards - seriously."- Robert Thicknesse on 'Così fan tutte' for Opera Now
"Hampstead Garden Opera are swiftly becoming a favourite. Their productions are small but perfectly formed, and their own delight in the art form is infectious. As for this production in particular – well, I can’t fault it."- Francesca Wickers for Fringe Opera
