Branimir Pofuk, Večernji list

It is a performance of logical, clean and clear conception, with seriously prepared and refined music, and a distribution of solo roles that allows the protagonists to show their abilities in the best light (…) This staging of Gounod’s Romeo et Juliette testifies to the increasingly good form of the Rijeka CNT, so this successful new performance is also the success of the entire opera ensemble.

Bosiljka Perić Kempf

This is an interesting reading of the score, and we recommend all opera lovers to watch the show; a beautiful opera evening of strong emotions awaits them.

Luka Nalis, Fiuman.hr

Excellent protagonists and interpreters of minor roles, a musical and polished choir with a large and important contribution, an excellent orchestra, and attractive direction and scenographic staging (…)
