Sergio La Stella
Il barbiere di Siviglia, Scottish Opera/ Autumn 2007
“Augmented by mandolin and pianoforte, the orchestra under Sergio La Stella sounds inspired – and Scottish Opera has the sort of revivable show it desperately needs.”
Andrew Clark / The Financial Times
“Conductor Sergio La Stella led a crisp, well-sprung performance from the pit and the chorus and orchestra did him proud.”
Matthew Rye / The Daily Telegraph
“There’s zest galore from the orchestra and conductor, Sergio La Stella.”
Geoff Brown / The Times
“Under Sergio La Stella . . . a performance that had lots of instrumental character, not least in the mandolin sound of Almavivas opening Serenade and the piano-accompanied recits.”
Andrew Clark / Opera
“Scottish Opera’s orchestra played their hearts out for conductor Sergio La Stella…”
Neil Jones/Opera Now
