The Dutch National Opera, like the creators of “The Shell Trial,” views climate change as an ethical issue as well as a political one. And as the company does its part to help, the wider industry should take note.

things move quickly and smoothly, in part because of the work’s oratorio-like structure, in part because of Gable Roelofsen and Romy Roelofsen’s direction. With the orchestra onstage, an ensemble of silent Elders and, eventually, a children’s chorus drawn from local schools and community groups, there are lot of performers in this production. But scenes don’t feel crowded or unwieldy

A Brechtian cri de coeur about climate change and complicity, this is an ambitious, passionate show that seems interested in being heard — in truly reaching its audience —Finding new ways to make old points, and powerfully laying out a vision for a future in which the world changes but we do not, “The Shell Trial” has much to admire.

in einer starken, farbenvolle regie von Gable und Romy Roelofsen

Frankfurter Algemeine

Eine Aufführung mit sehr viel Tiefgang, die frei ist von Kitsch und Sentimentalität und gerade deshalb unter die Haut geht.  – Schreib so laut du kannst über Wesendonck Lieder heute
