Macbeth - Festival Verdi
... elegant costumes by Robby Duiveman, poised between past and present.
— Teatro.it
Werther- Teatro alla Scala
...stunning artistry of costume designer Robby Duiveman’s perspective. Duiveman portrayed each character in a refined manner that kept the tone of “Werther” aligned and alive.
— OperaWire
La Morte D’Orfeo - Dutch National Opera
On a plain black and copper-coloured set, Robby Duiveman’s costumes, mostly modern with mythical references, clearly indicated who was who, or at least to which faction they belonged.
— ★★★★ - Bachtrack
Tosca - Opera Bastille
These themes, coupled with Christof Hetzer’s mystical set design and Robby Duiveman’s superb costumes, create an electrifying atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire performance.
— Seen and Heard International
Idomeneo - Salzburg Festival
Robby Duiveman’s costumes have the Trojans and the Cretans in identical pyjamas, orange and blue respectively, with a vague nod to the Polynesian background of choreographer Lemi Ponifasio.
