    «How pathetic human actions are! What is this darkness, this snake, that we all have inside us? These were the gloomy thoughts that rang round our ears as Thomas Larcher’s first opera, The Hunting Gun, the opening attraction of the 72nd Aldeburgh Festival, moved towards its close. […] You had to be in a coma not to respond to the beauty and joyful ingenuity of the Austrian composer’s music. […] At first glance this opera might well be a masterpiece.»
