Reviews

"Mark Beesley, as the pasty-faced, lank-haired, Don Basilio, relished singing one of the slimiest characters heard here for some time."
(English National Opera - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, The Guardian)

 

"Mark Beesley was a fantastically sleazy Basilio"
(English National Opera - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, The Independent)

 

"Mark Beesley (Basilio) wrapped his teeth around "innuendo" to hilarious effect and somehow managed to turn "slander" into a lascivious, four syllable noun."
(English National Opera - Il Barbiere Di Siviglia, Sunday Times)
