Gianni SchicchiOpera Holland ParkNo. of reviews: 12 | |
Gianni Schicci fairly zips along under conductor Manlio Benzi |
 7 Jul 12 / The Oxford Times |
If you were ever in doubt that opera could be hilarious then Gianni Schicchi will convince you |
| 5 Jul 12 / Telegraph |
There was method in this pairing of a minor rarity with Puccini’s brilliantly written comedy |
| 3 Jul 12 / Financial Times |
Gianni Schicchi can't fail, and it didn't |
| 28 Jun 12 / Musical Pointers |
Martin Lloyd-Evans directs his strong ensemble cast with good humour and breeziness |
| 28 Jun 12 / What's on Stage |
Comatose conducting and a slack production with no farcical momentum |
| 27 Jun 12 / Telegraph |
Martin Lloyd-Evans’s staging works a treat |
| 26 Jun 12 / The Stage |
Alan Opie's stubbled Schicchi is vocally smooth, but rough and roguish in persona |
| 26 Jun 12 / Music OMH |
Comedy was right at the forefront |
| 26 Jun 12 / Seen and Heard |
Comically effective and altogether delightful |
| 26 Jun 12 / Opera Britannia |
A Mascagni/Puccini double bill |
| 25 Jun 12 / The Guardian |
This over-farcical production is singularly unfunny |
