    Helsingin Sanomat

  • In terms of belcanto, Gerts led the Philharmonic in the pit with precision and delicacy

    IOCO

  • The orchestra under Mihhail Gerts brought the highly emotional music of Donizetti brilliantly out of the pit and by doing so also inspired the acting of the singers

  • His energy and clarity impressed, contact with the orchestra was also noticeably good

    Klaus Günther

    Solinger Tageblatt

  • Gerts knows how to conduct a big opera, has a flair for tempi and worked with the Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra in a very precise way

    Stefan Schmöe

    OMM
  • Conducting a highly motivated Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra, Gerts conveyed the multifacet [of the opera], which were missing from the staging. He allowed the orchestra to explode, but the sound stayed very transparent and subtle.

    Monika Willer

    Westfalenpost
  • The applause for the conductor should have, by rights, been even stronger
