Hans Thomalla 

"Musically and dramaturgically an absolutely convincing evening."

"Opera at the cutting edge as it is rarely found".

Deutschlandfunk

​

"A very, very important piece."

SWR

​

"Since opera is a genre about individually pronounced changes in one's condition, it must be interested in dementia. There aren't many examples for this yet, but Hans Thomalla's "Dark Fall" will be a decisive one."

Frankfurter Rundschau

 

"Extremely touching!" 

Deutschlandfunk

 

"Estelle Kruger with both her wonderfully rich soprano for which Thomalla has written the most beautiful emphatic melodies as well as with her performance as Ellen defines the center of the show."
