Bei Jonathan Michie in der Rolle des Dichters Olivier bleiben ebenfalls keine Wünsche unerfüllt. Seine Deklamation ist makellos, sein Arioso betörend.
(With Jonathan Michie in the role of the poet Olivier, no wishes remain unfulfilled. His declamation is flawless, his arioso beguiling.)
Peter Korfmacher
Jonathan Michies Papageno steht Tamino mit Komik, Unbekümmertheit und einem herrlich breiten Bariton zur Seite.
(Jonathan Michie's Papageno supports Tamino with humor, carefreeness and a wonderfully broad baritone.)
