"But as I said, impressive across the board. Håvard Stensvold was solidly covered in oil and pig's blood towards the end. Both he, Ketil Hugaas, Nils Harald Sødal, Elisabeth Teige and Tone Kummervold are among those we would like to highlight, not least for the stage-wise execution. But there was also excellent effort in many of the smaller roles. A Menotti-like doorbell in the form of a soprano we don't forget so easily."
