"Ce concert était dirigé par Florence Vettes qui a mené l'ensemble de 50 choristes de main de maître, accompagnés à l'orgue par Marc Chiron. La soprano Myiram Garcie et le baryton James McOran-Campbell ont élevé la qualité du concert par leur remarquable prestation" Quillan News, April 2023

"James McOran-Campbell’s honeyed tones make Falke rather lush... McOran-Campbell inhabits the world of the piece throughout with joyful intensity"  Charlotte Valori, Theatrecat.com. August 2019

​

"...His wily friend Falke – James McOran-Campbell in Batman T-shirt – the nanny Adele, got up as Rhianna (Abigail Kelly), and Rosalinde (Claire Wild), the cool, long-suffering wife, were assured and witty, both musically and dramatically"  Fiona Maddocks, Guardian, 10th Aug 2019

​

"...and James McOran-Campbell, whose effortless stage presence and dramatic ability was wonderfully equalled vocally. McOran-Campbell demonstrated astonishing range, dramatically and vocally, with an absolutely charming, all-controlling God, a menacing and malevolent Leftovers and an utterly resplendent Poor Thing with wonderfully camp vocal exhibitions while encased in a shining skin-tight outfit."   Edward Lewis, Classicalsource.com
