John Gibbons' growing reputation as both an orchestral and operatic conductor is reflected in the glowing reviews following every performance. His expertise with the human voice inspired Lady Walton to write of his performance of Walton's Belshazzar's Feast - "What a brilliant performance... I cannot get over how beautifully and dashingly you presented Belshazzar's Feast, thank you".
“As an entity, this Traviata makes a solid impact. John Gibbons’s conducting does something more. He shows a precise understanding of Verdian style and motivates the score from start to finish.” George Hall - Independent on Sunday
“The entire musical performance, under John Gibbons’s vital baton, reveals Opera Holland Park punching above its weight.” Hugh Canning. Sunday Times
John's new orchestral reduction of Troilus & Cressida for Opera Theatre of St Louis and the William Walton Trust “every so often, something comes along to knock your socks off. This will be hard to outdo as the operatic revelation of the year. ..Nothing about John Gibbons’s reduced orchestration left one wanting more.” Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News. June 2008
