''It was one of the performances of the year, as Phillip Rhodes gave a reprise of Leoncavallo's Si puo? Signore, Signori'' The New Zealand Herald
''The baritone Phillip Rhodes — a good-looking Maori, like Te Kanawa herself — delivered Largo al factotum with such panache ...that a lifetime of Figaros and Papagenos seems guaranteed.'' The Times ' 'Ping, Pang and Pong are Phillip Rhodes, Adrian McEniery and Benjamin Fifita Makisi, dressed as if they had stepped out of the Dick Tracy movie...with Rhodes in outstanding lyrical form as he remembers his Honan home.''
