Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, Antwerpen

"La parte musicale è ben assicurata dal maestro Marc Piollet che ha saputo fondere stili diversi e integrarli con rumori d’ambiente, della natura e della nostra civiltà, con le immancabili sirene d’allarme, guidando con sicurezza l’Opera Ballet Vlaanderen Symphony Orchestra sul terreno della contaminazione di genere."

(Alma Torretta, Giornale della Musica)
