"The production, in a round tent with seating for about 400, was
directed in lively style and designed by Niall Morris of Celtic Tenors
fame."
"The young and enthusiastic team of Bohemians - José Pazos (Rodolfo),
Simon Morgan (Marcello), Brendan Collins (Schaunard) and John Molloy
(Colline) - were as boisterous as the limited stage area allowed and
the blending of voices in the high jinks of Act I worked with
close-harmony effect, no matter which direction any of the individual
singers was pointed. This sense of vocal ensemble was the strength on
which the production was founded."
"This was a performance that amounted to more than the sum of its
parts. The sense of vocal over-projection, which mars so many
small-scale productions, was largely absent and the rapport between
singers and listeners seemed unusually high."
