“Maestro Eiki Isomura led the OH orchestra almost as a tribute to Portman’s distinctive writing. The entire place sounded exceptional.”

-Houston Press, 12/9/24 Portman/Wright: The Little Prince

“[Isomura] balanced tension and grace.”

-Opera Magazine with Opera News, 9/22/24 Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor

“Dr. Isomura's passion for the art drove the more dramatic pieces to deeper and resonant levels[…] If one were to glance as he conducts masterfully, one would see a performance of passion all on its own.”

-Broadway World, 9/21/24 Donizetti: Lucia di LAmmermoor

“Maestro Eiki Isomura whipped his orchestra into luscious frenzies or heated romantic passions. Lucia’s mad scene evoked haunting whispers or crazed roulades, all matching Falla’s intense and florid rendition. He and his lead singers brought Donizetti’s antique warhorse into the present, exactly where it belongs.”

-Houston Press, 9/21/24 Donizetti: LUcia di Lammermoor

“Credit for this goes also to the work of Joseph Rawley as the company’s chorus master and to the tight ensemble of the accompanying orchestra under the direction of Eiki Isomura[…]The result was a spirited and well-honed performance.

-Houston Chronicle, 7/22/24 G&S: Ruddigore

“The conducting from Opera in the Heights' maestro Eiki Isomura and the playing from the orchestra is thrilling.”

-Houston Press, 7/21/24 G&S: Ruddigore

-LA Times, 6/6/24 Puccini: Madama Butterfly

“Maestro Isomura presided over an orchestra which I believe numbered just over twenty in the pit. They did a fine job and although there was hardly any doubling of instruments save for some of the strings and the winds in this intimate setting; I honestly didn’t miss a larger sound when caught up in the drama. He also managed a good job of keeping everything together during the wedding scene and they mustered a mighty sound when it was warranted.”

-Parterre Box, 6/5/24 Puccini: Madama Butterfly

“…With the Opera in the Heights music director Eiki Isomura overseeing a tight-knit of the Puccini score…”

-Opera Magazine with Opera News, 4/12/24 Puccini La Bohème

“Then there was the orchestra, under maestro Isomura. I don't think they've ever sounded better. The horns were crisp, the strings deep and resonant, the harp celestial, the woodwinds spirited, the percussion booming. Isomura clearly loves his Puccini, and he threw his heart into this most romantic score.”

-Houston Press, 4/6/24 Puccini: La Bohème

“The instrumental sextet, led by conductor Eiki Isomura, added its own current of energy. And the cast rode the wave.”

-Texas Classical Review, 2/17/24 Tsui/tien: The Big Swim

- Houston Press, 12/5/2023 Humperdinck: Hansel & Gretel

“Conductor Eiki Isomura and his eight-member chamber ensemble provide wonderfully atmospheric playing, which they deliver with nuance and virtuosity.”

- Opera News, ‘Critic’s Choice,’ April 2023 - Brandt/Beber: Kassandra, CD on Navona Records

“Maestro Eiki Isomura leads Verdi through his paces, roaring through those trumpet denunciations of vengeance or innocently purring through the love duets. He loves his Verdi and you can hear it clear and clean.”

-Houston Press, 3/26/2023 Verdi: Rigoletto

“The eleven-piece ensemble led with precision by Eiki Isomura, gives a crackerjack rendering of the virtuoso score.”

-Opera News, ‘Critic’s Choice,’ February 2023 - CD of Al-Zand/Ionesco: The Leader, CD on Parma Records

-Santa Barbara Independent, 02/23/2023 - Perla/Murphy Moo: An American Dream at Opera Santa Barbara

-Opera Magazine (UK), 12/06/2022 - Donizetti: Elixir of Love, Opera in the Heights

-Houston Press, 12/06/2022 - Donizetti: Elixir of Love, Opera in the Heights

-Washington Classical Review, 09/22/2022 - Hosokawa/Poe: The Raven, Opera Philadelphia

“The chamber ensemble, led by conductor Eiki Isomura, sketched an eerie mood, oftencentering on a single, insistent pitch (“evermore?”), scratchy string effects and that most foreboding of all orchestral sounds: quiet, sustained low flutes.”

-Philadelphia INquirer, 09/22/2022 - Hosokawa/Poe: The Raven, Opera Philadelphia

“The chamber orchestral score[…]has a swirling and sometimes disorienting sense of perpetual motion - often beautiful and disquieting in equal parts - and is superbly performed here y a small ensemble and conductor Eiki Isomura.”

-Parterre, 09/22/2022 - Hosokawa/Poe: The Raven, Opera Philadelphia

“The music was the thing, with no little kudos to conductor Eiki Isomura and the hard-working musicians of the ensemble. It was mesmerizing, particularly the chamber orchestra’s interplay with mezzo Choi[…] COnductor Eiki Isomura seemed so totally in control of what the chamber players were doing that everything seemed to make sense, even when it was at its most atonal.”

-Broadway World, 10/06/2022 - Hosokawa/Poe: The Raven, Opera Philadelphia

“There is a sense of emotional purity in the notes played by the featured instruments and orchestral sections. Kudos to the ensemble and conductor Eiki Isomura.”

-Sonograma Magazine, 07/29/2022 - Brandt/Beber: Kassandra, CD on Navona Records

-Houston Press, 06/03/2022 - Wang: Scalia/Ginsburg, Holocaust Museum Houston/Opera in the Heights

“Eiki Isomura led an emotional OH orchestra and chorus, fully-immersed in Tchaikovsky's lush romanticism.”

-Houston Press, 04/03/2022 - Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin, Opera in the Heights

“Maestro Isomura loves his Verdi and, even with a pared-down orchestration, brings out nuances in the score not often heard from bigger houses. There's energy throughout… lean and muscular, no dead space anywhere, It moves and rushes forward, all juicy overripe passion, everything Elemental. Isomura and his fine orchestra bring this to the forefront with masterful fire and fury.”

-Houston Press, 11/14/2021 - Verdi: Il Trovatore, Opera in the Heights

“As usual, OH maestro Eiki Isomura leads a splendid orchestra, finding the goofball comedy in Leader and whipping them into an appropriate ecological frenzy in Kassandra.”

-Houston Press, 2/24/2020

“Under maestro Eiki Isomura the OH orchestra has never sounded so lush and supple. As a prelude to Amahl, they played Respighi's fragrant Botticelli Triptych with its tripping depiction of water, frolic, and procession. The orchestra sounded ravishing.”

-Houston Press, 12/9/2019

“Eiki Isomura provides the fluid Japanese translation and the transcendent musical arc that is Puccini's. Under his galvanic baton, the orchestra sounds like a Philharmonic.”

-Houston Press, 4/29/19

-OperaWire, 4/10/19

-Houston Press, 2/4/17

-Houston Press, 11/14/16

"Is there any opera that so resembles champagne as the heady, intoxicating Die Fledermaus? OPera in the Heights's production is certainly vintage in sound, with its young, appealing cast; Eiki Isomura keeps his sprightly tuned orchestra just this side of Grand Cru...The young and vivacious cast is first-rate...the OH Chorus sparkles...The orchestra has never sounded so lively. They, too, I imagine, are drunk on Strauss.

-Houston Press, 9/19/16

 "Under Eiki Isomura, the orchestra has never sounded so focused... Down the line, this is ensemble playing of fine caliber... The OH chorus is ultra-fine, too, smooth and lustrous, which is saying something because they've been so consistently good all season.
