Three Rayfield Allied artists star in a revival of Calixto Bieito's Giulio Cesare at Gran Teatre del Liceu, garnering praise for their portrayals of Giulio Cesare (Xavier Sabata), Sesto (Helen Charlston) and Nireno (Alberto Miguélez Rouco):
“Caesar is sung by Barcelona's Xavier Sabata, who has the stature to impress… He maintains a beautiful singing line”
“In the rest of the cast, of the same high level, we note in particular the mezzo Helen Charlston who plays a magnificently sung Sesto, between dejection and excitement…”
“Nireno, Cleopatra's confidant, is played with great energy by Alberto Miguélez Rouco.”
Jean-Marcel Humbert, Forum Opera
“Sabata, always a great artist, sensitive musician, and charismatic actor… portraying a complex, flesh-and-blood Cesare, always phrasing elegantly.”
“Dedicated both on stage and musically from the outset… with an undeniable personality, the feeling is that we are before a singer [Helen Charlston] with an important future”
“The cast was rounded out with skill by Alberto Miguélez Rouco in the role of Nireno"
Antoni Colomer, Platea Magazine
“Xavier Sabata recreated a skillful Giulio Cesare”
Maria Sánchez, Bachtrack
