Wiener Zeitung (full article in german language)

“A small opera sensation”

“The members of the philharmonic orchestra and the domina"

"The well known soprano Akiko Nakajima plays an asian domina..."

"The music is clever, atmospheric and effective and the continuous dramatic tensions as well as the haunting ensemble scenes are well made."

"In the main aria of Mae Mona the acting qualities of Akiko Nakajima are fully called upon. The director, Benjamn Prins, shows a complex personality of a suffering woman, who torments others."

"This opera provides palpable suspense until the final homicide."

"„Mae Mona“ is a piece, which probably won’t lose its impact also on big stages."
