The Augsburg Philharmonic
"With ‘C:\>title Labyrinth’, composer Hauke Berheide and director and librettist Amy Stebbins have held a kind of internal competition, outdoing each other with unusual stimuli and narrative forms. The music is fluid, rich in variety and colour. [...] Everything is on point, everything clicks together."

The Bavarian State Orchestra
"The incontestable ornament of the Munich Opera Festival... The massively applauded premiere of this in no way conceptually simple work had a lot to offer for both eye and ear. It is an inspiration for how the Bavarian State Opera should pursue the path into contemporary work."
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG
"An exciting, nightmarish, nerve-wracking study of the clash of kisses and bites... It is dazzling, extreme... An incredible experience."
SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
"Beautiful... brutal... suspenseful, intense, and informative."
