The Times
"Paul Curievici moves effortlessly between speech and singing, watching and engagement; he holds the production’s different layers together."
The Independent
"One should mention a super turn from singer Paul Curievici as the narrator-cum-villain Gérard."
The Daily Telegraph
"British tenor Paul Curievici did his part very well as Melot, Marke's right hand man. Making this role interesting is no easy matter."
Information Dagbladet
