“This production is another memorable landmark for a company that’s just four years old” – ★★★★
The Times
“The stars of the show are undoubtedly the terrific chorus… who could hold their own with any comparable full-time association”
The Daily Telegraph
“The real stars were Northern Ireland Opera’s youthful chorus trained by Nicholas Chalmers, who conducted the Ulster Orchestra with plenty of Verdian verve”
The Sunday Times
“The evening belongs to the youthful chorus: such energy and vibrancy. The witches are superbly choreographed. The men, whether as woollen-hatted Gorbals thugs or with their partners at a civilised social dinner, are equally good.”
The Irish Times
“This Macbeth had many good things going for it. Not least of these was the fine work of the 40-strong chorus…nearly all the singers were young and Irish, and they acted with energetic commitment”
Opera Magazine
“(Oliver) Mears’s choreographed three-part chorus of witches was strong and creepy. The ad hoc chorus was very impressive” – ★★★★
