Reviews:
"Steffen Aarfing’s set, with exceptional lighting by Jon Clark and choreography (a discreetly effective orgy) by Cathy Marston, is both functional and visually arresting. " Fiona Maddocks The Observer 2015-05-10
"With his designers, Steffen Aarfing (set and costumes), Jon Clark (lighting) and Luke Halls (video), Holten creates a striking visual framework... " Anna Picard The Sunday Times 2015-05-10
"...powerfully lit by Jon Clark and with some superbly restrained video work from Luke Halls..." Mark Valencia Whatsonstage.com 2015-05-01
"Full marks to the team of set designer Steffen Aarfing and lighting designer Jon Clark, who contribute enormously to the psychodrama, especially in the third act when the large head slowly and visibly seems to decay before our eyes." Jonathan Lennie Time Out 2015-05-06
"...matched for impact by Kwiecien and his expansive vocal ecstasy in the opera’s final moments, no less brilliant than Jon Clark’s lighting." Alexandra Coghlan The Arts Desk 2015-05-01

Reviews:
'Ralph Myers’s set, skilfully lit by Jon Clark, locates the action in a stadium — that traditional site of totalitarian exercise of power with all its inherent theatrical potential.' Barry Millington The Evening Standard 2012-05-28
'Making this all the more eerie was the sinister green lighting (the choices of Lighting Designer Jon Clark were spot-on, here and throughout). ' Dominic Wells Opera-Britannica 2012-05-29

Reviews:
[the lighting design by] Jon Clark, is unusual and particularly effective. We occasionally get a single spot on Wozzeck himself at points of particular emotional turmoil, but more often the lighting fits into the scenario, with the set illuminated in a pale neon glow. In one of the interludes, there is a particularly effective vignette, in which the Captain comes into the social club and vents his frustrations on a shoot-em-up arcade game in the corner. But the whole episode is lit so dimly that you can only just see that it is happening, making it all the more sinister." Opera Britannica 2013-05-14
"...confidently mounted and wonderfully lit (by Jon Clark)." Mark Valencia classicalsource.com 2013-05-14

Reviews:
'We can no longer hide behind stylisation and shrink from the reality and as Ulysses takes a long hot shower, washing away years of dust and gore, a hopeful warmth is introduced into the hitherto stark white unforgiving lighting as husband and wife dare to believe in happiness once more.'
