“Rory Dunne as the Governor of Tilbury Fort and the Lord Justice brought comic mastery to each role”
ANDREW LARKIN, BACHTRACK
“Rory Dunne produced a nicely layered presentation of Giulietta’s father Capellio, in which he managed to successfully display the conflicting emotions he had for his daughter…He sang convincingly with a strength and purpose which captured his character’s authority and single-mindedness. He has a pleasing bass-baritone which exhibits an attractive rumbling vibrato in the lower register, and produced an expressive performance in which he showed particular skill in delivering well-crafted passages of recitative.”
ALAN NEILSON, OPERAWIRE
“Rory Dunne, as the village priest, brings a weight and sincerity that makes this far more than a character role.”
RICHARD BRATBY, GRAMOPHONE
