"Yuriy Yurchuk’s Marcello, though, might have stolen my heart entirely. I’ve always had a soft spot for baritones and his voice had that burnished quality that lives somewhere between silk and smoke."
"Baritone Yuriy Yurchuk as Marcello had a forceful lyrical presence, his rich voice complementing that of soprano Elin Pritchard very well."
Leeds Living
"Marcello is Yuriy Yurchuk, returning to the role he sang for Opera North six years ago – his baritone has a blendable quality that works well in this piece’s ensembles, and he carries the part with devil-may-care assurance"
The Arts Desk
"Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk, as the volatile Marcello, sang with elegance and ignited the flames of jealousy in his Act lll bust-up with Elin Pritchard’s skittish, heart-of-gold Musetta."
