“Through the climactic scene of La Traviata the good doctor clowned interpreted gestured and flung his eminently quotable metaphors at us and a performance began miraculously to take shape. The problem for singersis that opera is difficult enough as music let alone as stagecraft. Miller cajoled joked visibly eased tensions between contending forces provided props explained nuances. By the end drama had emerged from opera. Magic underpinned by a great deal of hard work.” –The Listener
