Madam Butterfly - London city opera
Tenor Jim Heath was excellent as the caddish Pinkerton. His rich, full voice was a perfect match for Puccini’s melodies… From Roger Bryant, The Midland Daily News, 07th March 2003…
Tenor Jim Heath was perfectly cast as Pinkerton, the American naval officer who woos and then abandons his young Japanese bride, Butterfly. Heath was not only well suited by appearance for the role – tall, dark, slim and handsome – his silver tinged voice rang clear and shiny throughout. The “ah! Vieni, Guarda” aria emerged beautifully. His upper register never failed, with clarion sounds the norm, punctuated with thrilling top notes. His acting was excellent whether interacting with butterfly or with the American consul Sharpless. Together he and Butterfly lit up the theatre…. From C.J. Gianakaris, The Kalamazoo Gazette, 24th March 2003….

La Boheme - Scottish opera go round
Rodolfo sung by Jim Heath and Mimi were well balanced and they used the romantic melodies of the score to portray two people hopelessly in love – a love which endured to the end of the opera… the moonlit scene when the lovers first meet was done sensitively and succeeded by its convincing acting and committed singing , painting a warmly romantic picture. John O’Groats Journal – P.D.R – Oct 2001
There were too many highlights to list but some must be mentioned though; Rodolfo’s aria “your tiny hand is frozen”; Rodolfo’s and Mimi’s duet when they find themselves falling in love…. And the incredibly moving final scene: fact : there were quite a few handkerchiefs applied to eyes in the audience at that point.
