"The best singing comes from the baritone Owen Gilhooly as the Bailiff's Son and as Ivan, the lover in "Kashchei." "Soloists Ailish Tynan and Owen Gilhooly rode the waves of this massive seascape with imposing confidence." "Owen Gilhooly is a splendidly voiced Papageno" "The Irish baritone, Owen Gilhooly (the General) has a very beautiful voice which I hope I will hear soon in a major role on a main stage. At the moment it seems his career is just on the edge of greatness."
