Angela Gheorghiu takes flight in La rondine |
 22 Jul 13 / The Opera Critic |
ROH does its best with flawed Puccini opera |
| 19 Jul 13 / Seen and Heard |
The self-admiring, unapologetic Gheorghiu evidently has no intention of going quietly |
| 15 Jul 13 / The Observer |
For a wallow in nostalgia there’s nothing to touch Puccini’s lyrical comedy La Rondine |
| 15 Jul 13 / Express |
The Royal Opera’s season-closer suffers from end-of-term malaise |
| 10 Jul 13 / Financial Times |
Some reservations about Gheorghiu’s vocal condition apart, this proves a worthwhile revival |
| 10 Jul 13 / The Stage |
Oddly, it’s Gheorghiu herself who lets things down |
| 9 Jul 13 / Bloomberg |
GHeorghiu's voice for two acts seems stuck in one gear — a sweet, quiet one |
| 9 Jul 13 / Evening Standard |
Worth seeing for the singing, but I fear this opera will remain a curiosity |
| 9 Jul 13 / Express |
This revival is absolutely worth seeing. On balance, it's worth hearing too |
| 9 Jul 13 / The Guardian |
Angela Gheorghiu returns to her signature role in a patchy revival at the Royal Opera House |
| 9 Jul 13 / What's on Stage |
An indulgent and enjoyable way to pass an evening |
| 8 Jul 13 / Classical Source |
Gheorghiu and Castronovo bring out all of the beauty and emotion in Puccini’s music |
| 7 Jul 13 / Music OMH |
These lovers didn't convince for a moment |
| 7 Jul 13 / Independent |
A sumptous production of Puccini's unjustly negelcted opera is marred by diva Angela Gheorghiu's fading presence |
| 7 Jul 13 / Telegraph |
There's one star in this show... and it's not the diva |
| 6 Jul 13 / Opera Britannia |
