"National treasure Simon Butteriss"
BBC Music Magazine, 2024
"Touched with comic genius"
The Independent
"This amazing singing actor…everything he does is absolutely riveting. You can hear every word and every word is nuanced."
BBC Radio 3
"Now as irreplaceable as his famous D’Oyly Carte forebears in the comic baritone roles"
Hugh Canning, Opera, November 2021
"Director Simon Butteriss, who also plays Ko-Ko, is my nomination for greatest living Englishman. His Little List was hilarious, his timing is immaculate, his singing is excellent, his instinct for observing tradition while making it relevant is impeccable.
☆☆☆☆☆."
Tully Potter, Daily Mail
Simon’s production of Der Mikado in Passau, Germany, won a Bayerische Rundfunk Operetta Award in 2024
"When a British director like Simon Butteriss comes along and dusts the whole thing off thoroughly and puts it on stage as a lively satire on satire, happiness is complete. It is a brilliant, heart-refreshing evening, an exuberant pleasure in every respect!"
Der Mikado, Passau
Peter Jungblut, Bayerische Rundfunk
