The Curing Line
by Michael Gallen
“A five star reminder of why we go to the theatre, or why we go out at all… This is opera at its weirdest and most daring” - The Irish Times
“vibrant and energetic… arresting and confronting in its relatability” - Opera Now
“A rich, multi-layered experience… this is two fingers to anyone who thinks that opera is stale and dated” - The Irish Examiner
“Michael Gallen's riveting music-theatre piece has committed performances all round… don’t miss it if you get a chance to see it - The Arts Desk
The performances were exceptional, particularly from the two leads, from their excellent, foul-mouthed duet at the beginning to each of their heart-rending breakdowns at the end… a superb stage work, elaborate, opinionated, and tightly constructed” - The Journal of Music
