“It was Gerald Finley's Onegin that ultimately raised the temperature of this revival, the artist's stage presence magnificent and his voice thrilling: open-throated and expressive.” MusicOMH
“In the title role, Gerald Finley was, as ever, exemplary, his musicianship, artistry and technique beyond carping…” The Telegraph
“Gerald Finley establishes himself as the Onegin of choice with a performance of poise and vocal grace, as well as stage personality.” FT
