  • The orchestra responded with some of the finest playing this season, with Oliver von Dohnanyi in the pit relishing all the nuances of this outstanding score.
    N.N.
  • Oliver von Dohnanyi has a sure feel for the score’s rolling phrases, his greatest achievement is to make a clear distinction between spirit and human worlds, the latter more hard-edged, the former more impressionistic. His players take close array. A production to savour.
    Yorkpress
  • Oliver von Dohnányi conducts with affection and skill; every tiny pause, every touch of rubato sounding completely natural.
    The Arts Desk
  • Slovak conductor Oliver von Dohnanyi perfectly captures the sweetly, sensuous Czech character of the score, and the Orchestra of Opera North responds with a sumptuous, Wagnerian sound. There is a luminescent quality to the playing; every nuance bathed in light by the beautifully clear acoustic of the Grand Theatre. An immensely rewarding evening.
    Opera-Britannia
  • The orchestra under Oliver von Dohnanyi combines spit, polish and style.
    Financial Times
  • Musically speaking, as a whole the performance was impressive – conductor Oliver von Dohnányi and the Orchestra of Opera North never put a foot wrong.
    Musolife
  • Oliver von Dohnányi conducted a pretty ravishing account of the score, with the opening thunderous and full of evil portents. He accommodated his singers extremely well, which is rarely achieved today, especially in this repertoire. The tempi were all well judged. Musically, the Opera North performance of Norma was an unexpected triumph.
    Britannia
  • Opera North's chorus are scarily stern, while conductor Oliver von Dohnányi brings energy and finesse to Bellini's deceptively simple accompaniments.
    The Guardian
  • Oliver von Dohnanyi conducts a consistently exciting interpretation.
    The stage
  • The orchestral playing taut and dramatic under Oliver von Dohnányi.
