    Fitzwilliam Chamber Opera presented the world premiere of Fables of La Fontaine by leading British composer Ivan Moody, in a double bill with Judith Weir’s The Consolations of Scholarship on 5 May 2011.Conducted by Lliam Paterson (Music 2009) and directed by Sinéad O’Neill, the production featured striking lighting designs by Marie-Eve Bourassa. The composer declared it ‘a magnificent performance’." The absolute highlight of the performance was the set design. Innovative use of space and lighting transformed the Fitzwilliam auditorium from a concrete monolith to an intimate and compact arena; a real credit to the technical team who excelled themselves with a genuinely innovative lighting design. This was fully exploited by the designer Marie-Eve Bourassa, who excelled herself to create a stage that transformed from a fireside suitable for storytelling to a mulberry tree in the second half " Varsity, Cambridge, May 2011
