Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, March 1992
“…My feeling is that, in its closer involvement in the ‘storyline’, the dance element now serves the larger demands of the opera more successfully than the first time around, marvellous though Ashton’s beach games were…”
- Financial Times
"Another that is new about this Death in Venice is the inventive choreography by Kim Brandstrup ,and a poetic danced performance as Tadzio by Giacomo Ciriaci, the stuff of which stars are made"
- The Observer
“…the ballet sequences (originally choreographed by Sir Frederick Ashton) benefit from Kim Brandstrup’s less fey approach…No lover of theatre should miss it.”
