Northern Ireland Opera’s SALOME a hit!

FIVE STAR REVIEW for Salome in Belfast Telegraph
“It was however the power of the voices, the dramatic characterizations, the sheer brilliance of the music which carried this performance… Michael Colvin as Herod was completely convincing as the depraved and eventually disgusted king.” – Belfast Telegraph

The Guardian Newspaper FOUR STAR REVIEW
“It’s real a white-knuckle ride that never lets up…It all sounds terrific.. Michael Colvin’s Herod is more lyrical than many and thus nastier than most.” Tim Ashley, The Guardian

The Telegraph FOUR STAR REVIEW
“Herod and Herodias were sharply etched by Michael Colvin and Heather Shipp” – Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph

The Sunday Times FOUR STAR REVIEW
“Not just sleazy but actively repellent, not just gory but positively noxious, his (Director, Oliver Mears) production plays out like a nightmare mash-up of Sam Peckinpah, David Lynch and Woody Allen… Musically this is another bold achievement by NI Opera… (Heather) Shipp’s Herodias and Michael Colvin’s Herod were poisonously effective.” – Neil Fisher, The Sunday Times
