CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA
PIETRO MASCAGNI
​NEW ZEALAND FESTIVAL OPERA
​

“A spectacular Festival Opera production... the genius behind this, José Aparicio, together with that of stage director John Wilkie, was evident in every part of the performance.”

 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ NZ Herald

"Director Wilkie has an excellent and refined understanding of the pace, timing and quality of opera... The interplay between his craft and what's happening in the orchestra pit, and under the baton of Maestro Aparicio, is stunning."

- Jess Baron, The Hook
