Bernstein Trouble in Tahiti, Second Movement, May/June 2005
"Casting directors should kick themselves if they failed to hurry to Hoxton Hall,
in the heart of trendy Shoreditch, where the young ensemble Second Movement mounted a rare production of
Leonard Bernstein's first opera, Trouble in Tahiti. Paul Carey Jones and Hannah Pedley sang superbly and acted convincingly as smooth Sam and desperate Dinah,
the seven-year-itch couple that the young Bernstein cruelly based on his warring parents.
They must both have great futures in store."
Anthony Holden, The Observer, 5th June 2005
"Paul Carey Jones was terrific as macho Sam, his 'There are men' a great showstopper. Trouble in Tahiti
is Bernstein at his best - ironic, touching, and very funny."
Peter Reed,
The Sunday Telegraph, 12th June 2005
"Paul Carey Jones impressed with his vibrant, focused baritone and his equally focused acting"
George Hall, Opera Now, Sept/Oct 2005
