Seven Deadly Sins
“Visually full of flair and invention”
**** The Herald on The Seven Deadly Sins with Scottish Opera
“The collaboration with Company Chordelia is particularly exciting – their ability to bring such a grand tale as this to life through dance is unrivalled.”
Metro on The Seven Deadly Sins with Scottish Opera
“This ballet chanté format allows Scottish Opera and Company Chordelia to work together in a co-production that boasts the best of both artistic worlds … There’s a strong narrative drive expressed through song and dance, and it’ll grip you in a way that ballet or opera alone may not.”
Metro on The Seven Deadly Sins with Scottish Opera
“Kally Lloyd-Jones’s Scottish Opera/Company Chordelia co-production of The Seven Deadly Sins was sharp, sexy and bitterly sad.”
***** The Independent on Sunday
“Sins was an inventively realised and vibrant spectacle”
**** The Scotsman
“Credit for the successful revival of this period piece must go to director Kally Lloyd-Jones and designer Janis Hart, who have figured out a way to make everything that happens onstage look not only fresh and appealing but pertinent to our times.”
