"In 'Rusalka' in Regensburg, a woman fights powerfully against the system ... Proske offers a point of view ... that is intellectually appealing, but loses nothing of (the opera’s) magic. ... Love cannot conquer everything, but in this Rusalka it leads to a development that has rarely been so intelligently constructed." - Süddeutsche Zeitung

"In Louisa Proske's consistently well thought-out and very precisely directed production, the errant Rusalka finally sets fire to the asylum and stands like a Götterdämmerung Brünnhilde in the final scene. ... This Rusalka is a successful balancing act between fairy tale and psychological thriller." - br Klassik

"'Rusalka' is set in a madhouse and is one of the most powerful productions to be seen in Regensburg for a long time. ... The final fire magic, which takes the counter-motif to the fairytale element of water to the extreme, unfolds a tremendous force." - Mittelbayerische Zeitung

"It can be said that this production is successful across the board ... touching images with great pathos." - Regensburger Zeitung

"Devastatingly desolate ... the entire team received deserved, unanimous applause at the end." - Neue Musikzeitung

"Twilight of the mermaids .... Louisa Proske stages Dvorák's Rusalka as an escape from psychiatry through the power of the imagination .... Poetic and gripping."  - Opera! Magazine
