Shirley Apthorp, "I due Foscari, Staatsoper Hamburg – review", Financial Times (London), 30 October 2013. Apthorp notes, in regard to the staging of all three productions, that "To pull off the feat of three Verdi premieres in four weeks, David Alden and his team have opted for a single, versatile set (palace/theatre/prison/court), with the choir [chorus] in a back gallery that can be hoisted in and out".
