"En udgivelse, der hører hjemme i enhver velassorteret operasamling" Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad

"Malmö Opera Orchestra og alle solo- og korstemmer - og ord - når krystalklar og afbalanceret frem. I al sin skrøbelighed bliver denne historie fængslende fortalt"
Mattias Gejrot, Ystads Allehanda

Schlagt sie tot! is an opera about radical change and religious fanaticism. It paints a multifaceted portrait of a complex figure who transformed the world, namely the controversial catalyst of the Reformation, Martin Luther. He was a charismatic, uncompromising artistic personality, at times hateful and in constant struggle with his inner demons. Five hundred year old events, not unlike the politics of our own age, are brought to life in Bo Holten’s and Eva Sommestad Holten’s music drama, which reflects human emotion in a society set ablaze by the fire of change.
