"This is a fine performance of Bellini's score. DiDonato is everything you would want in Romeo, ardent and angry and in superb voice".

"Christof Loy's Zurich staging ... pays the work the compliment of taking it seriously. In a central work of the bel canto canon, it is crucial that vocal values are scrupulously maintained - and here they certainly are, with an even and technically excellent cast ... Fabio Luisi's conducting, too, is dynamic and dramatically conceived".

"If you can overlook the sometimes baffling production, this is recommendable as a well-presented, modern video version of the piece".

"I dare say that were this audio only, it might be a front runner, so fine is the singing of the two principals and so idiomatic and exciting the conducting ... Romeo may be Joyce DiDonato's greatest role - greatest among many greats ... The chorus ... sings magnificently ... I guess there's irresistibility to watching a soprano in a sink, but after one viewing, you'll just have to close your eyes and listen to two spectacular women's voices, making I Capuleti come alive".

"Vincents geschmäcklerische I Capuleti e i Montecchi-Inszenierunng aus München, wo sich Bellinis Romeo und Julia unter anderem in Christian-Lacroix-Roben vor einem gigantischen Waschbecken dekorativ tummeln. Sehens-, vor allem hörenswert ist das besonders wegen Joyce DiDonato als wunderbar stimmigem ... Romeo. Aber auch Nicole Cabell ... machen bella figura. Riccardo Frizza dirigiert artig".

"Zurich Opera's cast and conductor jump on board with admirable commitment. Fabio Luisi boldly sculpts the cantabile phrases without getting bogged down, and the orchestral playing is evocative, with pungent contributions from the winds ... Bernheim brings conflicted ardour to Tebaldo, and Lorenzi offers compassionate mercy as Lorenzo ... yet Zurich really strikes gold with the triumphant pairing of Joyce DiDonato as Romeo and Olga Kulchynska as Giulietta ... Tremendously affecting".

"Bellinis I Capuleti e i Montecchi ist pure Belcanto-Seligkeit ... Als Romeo ist Joyce DiDonato in dieser inzwischen klugerweise abgelegten Lieblingsrolle noch einmal gereift und feinfühliger geworden ... Welch dramatische Kraft und vokale Finesse man aus einer Bellini-Partitur herausholen kann. Ebenbürtiger Partner in seiner kleinen Rolle: Benjamin Bernheim als tenoral geschmeidiger, seelenvoller Rivale Tebaldo".
