"[The dialogue] was created by director Krzysztof Warlikowski and dramaturg Christian Longchamp, and designed for an in-your-face contemporary staging. That the result is at times shocking is scarcely surprising ... But it is utterly gripping. His cast is marvellous, too ... Especially Nadja Michael's extraordinary Medee".

"Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques draw the fire and flood from a score that is the true godfather of Fidelio, Der Freischutz and much Wagner ... Nadja Michael's identification with the title-role, physically and vocally, is first-rate and borders (rightly) on the psychotic, while Kurt Streit (in heroic dreadlocks) is ideal as the weak, indecisive, torn Jason ... Every aspect of this production is a triumph vindicating Cherubini's forward-looking genius".

"Cherubinis musikgeschichtlich herausragende Medée ... Es ist eine der wenigen Rollen, in denen man die eklatanten Schwächen Nadja Michaels als Stärken empfindet und sie durch ihre starke Präsenz zu fesseln vermag. Was auch für das dramatisch verzahnte Dirigat von Christophe Rousset gilt".
