The Orchestra of Scottish Opera Press Reviews
‘Down in the pit, Tobias Ringborg and (The Orchestra of Scottish Opera) pay scintillating attention to the score, holding the tension on a tight rein, and whipping up a real storm.’
The Times *** Rigoletto 2011
This was Scottish Opera on tip-top form, its orchestra and chorus no doubt fired up by the occasion, enhanced by a cast completely equipped for the task, and with Musical Director Francesco Corti firing on all of his native Italian cylinders.
The Scotsman **** Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacca 2012
‘Conductor Sian Edwards’ approach to the score is a perfect match, and The Orchestra of Scottish Opera has rarely sounded better, with principal trumpeter Tom Poulson and cellist Rudi de Groote among those on star form.’
The Herald ***** The Rake’s Progress 2012
‘…the strings of (The Orchestra of Scottish Opera) play with searing intensity.’
