GIACOMO PUCCINI
OPERA BOHEMIA
“Wilkie’s direction drew out stellar vocal and acting performances… there were many special directorial moments…does verismo grand opera work in reduction? It’s a ‘yes’ from me. Opera Bohemia continues to punch well above its weight."
- Edinburgh Music Review (2023 revival)
“Opera Bohemia’s compact, punchy Madama Butterfly may never have looked and sounded as good… John Wilkie’s production may be nearly a decade old, but the clarity of the story-telling, recognising the prescience of the work’s political message, are unimprovable.”
- Vox Carnyx (2022 revival)
“The underlying ecstasy, pain and anguish of Puccini’s style is beautifully captured.”
- The Standard
“John Wilkie directed his cast cleverly... this handsome festival version told the tragic story beautifully.”
- Bachtrack
