"Above all, the standard of the soloists engaged proved consistently rewarding, with some exciting newcomers and singers already well established in their careers... Daniele Guerra directed a smart, contemporary-dressed and disarmingly simple staging ...the vocal standouts were Owen Gilhooly as the con man Don Parmenione, Doreen Curran as the quick-witted servant Ernestina, and a very promising young Welsh baritone, Paul Carey Jones, as Parmenione's valet."
