"There was a nimble Escamillo in Paul Carey Jones, vocally up to the mark, if a trifle short on 'fatuite' (smugness)."

"...both Secret and the staging effected a splendidly smooth transition for Escamillo's entry, and Carey Jones opening up with an impressively big romantic sound"
Roderic Dunnett, Music & Vision Daily, October 2004
