"Critic's Pick!" – New York Times
"MEDEA cements Radvanovsky's position as thrilling prima donna assoluta. Her acting was brilliant – with auburn hair a mess and streaks of mascara running down her face, she slithered, crawled, grabbed at the earth and stood tall, all while bringing to life this hideous character. Her curtain call was met with a wild ovation, complete with torn programs wafting down from the Met’s upper reaches." – Bachtrack
