| What great news - I'm sure Alfie will give a top performance as always and with Alfie and two of the children from Kindred Spirits performing in it, Der RosenKavalier is sure to be a success. |

Reviews...
"...Alfie Boe was a late replacement for Dwayne Jones as the Italian Singer – amusing to see one of Covent Garden's former Young Artists take over from one of ENO's current Young Arists – and he acquitted himself reasonably well..."

"...Alfie Boe, a late replacement as the Italian Singer, vies for attention amidst all the fussing, primping, bickering and bargaining, with a light but incisive account of the tenor aria..."

"...There are excellent performances, too, from Andrew Shore as a perpetually panicking Faninal, and Alfie Boe (stepping in at the eleventh hour) as a twinkly Italian Singer..."
