The witnesses of this premiere, both young and old, were totally thrilled. The play by Elke Heidenreich, which she herself adapted for the libretto, was congenially set to music by Marius Felix Lange, the prizewinner of the First International Composition Competition Cologne ... A work born, so to speak, as a classic. (Olaf Weiden, Kölner Rundschau, 27 April 2005)
Marius Felix Lange’s melodically catchy, action- and emotion-filled work seems to have been created perfectly for Heidenreich’s amusing story. (Felix Mauser, Aachener Zeitung, 29 April 2005)
