Turandot - Dorset Opera
"Designer Cordelia Chisholm has a gift for sensing what works theatrically; with spare visual details she can conjure an atmosphere.......All was icy, apt and relevant - and enhanced by [her] beautifully conceived, stylishly fashioned costuming."
(Roderic Dunnett - Opera Now)
Cosi Fan Tutte - RSAMD
"Being able to say something new in such a commonly performed opera as Cosi Fan Tutte is difficult, but in this production director Ashley Dean and designer Cordelia Chisholm managed to do just that."
(Neil Jones - Opera Now)
Cav & Pag - Dorset Opera
"Cordelia Chisholm should have the larger companies queuing."
(Roderic Dunnett - Opera)
Kurt and Sid - Trafalgar Studios
"On a memorably squalid junk-den design by Cordelia Chisholm, all fag ends, discarded pizza cartons and dismembered dolls, Tim Stark directs a short, sharp production that finds all the play's wit and humanity."
(Charles Spencer - The Telegraph - **** )
"The production opens in Kurt's attic, lovingly created with an eye for authentic detail by designer Cordelia Chisholm; complete with plastic dolls, with gouged out eyes and scattered Sonic Youth records."
(Emma Catty - Music OMH)
Alessandro - RCM
"Terrific shoestring design."
(Robert Thicknesse - Opera Now)
