…一套全面的、極具創意和感染力的音樂劇！…

…a complete musical, immensely creative and deeply affecting!…

…音樂、歌曲十分震撼，製作非常感人，把利瑪竇神父在中國傳揚福音、傳揚主愛的感人故事活生生的呈現在人前，真的感動全場。

The music and songs were truly breathtaking, and the production was deeply moving. It brought to life the inspiring story of Fr. Matteo Ricci, who spread the Gospel and shared the love of the Lord in China. It was truly a moving experience that touched everyone in the audience.

…音樂劇引領觀眾走在利瑪竇神父嘗試在中國走的路，憑着上主的大愛和忠信，抱著開放的態度，努力了解和融入中華文化，探索中西文化相融的路徑，播下種子，奠定基礎。

…the musical leads the audience along the road Fr. Matteo Ricci tried to walk in China — sustained by God’s great love and faithfulness, holding an open posture, working to understand and enter Chinese culture, searching out a path on which East and West might meet, sowing seeds and laying foundations.

…《利瑪竇》音樂劇演出十分成功，無論在歌曲、舞蹈、劇本、舞台設計各方面，都可以說是做到力所能及最理想效果，當中的人物生動而性格鮮明，連虛構的角色也寫得很細緻，而音樂及歌唱寫得可愛無比…

…“Matteo Ricci” is a great success. In its songs, its dancing, its script and its stage design, it achieves the best that could be hoped for. The characters are vivid and sharply drawn — even the invented ones are written with care — and the music and singing are utterly delightful…

我從沒有看過這麼大型、莊重、精神質素高的天主教音樂劇…我被台上台下一齊揮舞那根乾麥穗所觸動，想到四百多年前，懷著熱愛天主的耶穌會神父利瑪竇，不惜艱辛遠渡重洋來華，為將福音喜信帶來我們這神州大地，廿八年的奮鬥，排除萬難，將自己完全貢獻，努力不懈用盡各種方法宣揚喜信，因著他前衛的思想被誤解，他的苦心經營，結束於禮儀之爭中，我婉惜。但利瑪竇的順命、忍耐、等待、以播種的精神傳留後世…

I have never seen a Catholic musical on this scale, so dignified and of such spiritual quality… I was moved when the stage and the audience waved that dry ear of wheat together, thinking of Matteo Ricci more than four hundred years ago — a Jesuit priest who, out of love for God, crossed the oceans at great cost to bring the Good News to this land of ours. Twenty-eight years of struggle, every obstacle overcome, himself given entirely, tireless in finding every means to proclaim the Gospel. His forward-looking mind was misunderstood, and his painstaking work ended in the Rites Controversy — that I regret. Yet Ricci’s obedience, patience, waiting, and his spirit of sowing have been handed down to later generations…

…一邊細讀，一邊淚流滿面。太感動了！從神師、策劃和工作成員的分享中，我看到天主的計劃，如何放在人的手裡去成就！…

…I read it slowly, with tears running down my face. So moving! In what the spiritual director, the planners and the team shared, I saw how God’s plan is placed into human hands to be brought about!…

就劇本的情節取材而言，那可是近代中西文化交往的歷史大事，但最重要的是，講述故事採用音樂劇的文化、音樂劇的手段，沒有因為嚴肅的命題，而拋去音樂劇的通俗性、可觀性、可聽性。

In its choice of material, the script takes up a major episode in the modern history of East–West cultural exchange. What matters most, though, is that it tells that story in the idiom and by the means of musical theatre: a serious subject, yet it never gives up the accessibility, the watchability or the listenability of a musical.

…《利瑪竇》是有專業水準的粵語大型音樂劇……強調利瑪竇很欣賞和尊重孔孟如家，認為儒家敬天重孝，宣揚仁義禮教，於天主教的教旨殊途同歸，中與西可以和平共處。…

…“Matteo Ricci” is a large-scale Cantonese musical of professional calibre… It stresses how much Ricci admired and respected Confucius and Mencius, holding that Confucianism — in its reverence for Heaven, its regard for filial piety, its teaching of benevolence, righteousness and rites — arrives by another road at the same place as Catholic doctrine, and that East and West can live together in peace…

…在過去接近二十個月，劉松仁唯一的人生任務，就是要完成《利瑪竇》音樂劇……我們終於可以在舞臺上，欣賞他的心血成果。…

…For almost twenty months, Damian Lau’s one task in life was to finish “Matteo Ricci”… At last we can see on stage what all that labour produced.…

…找王梓軒演利瑪竇是選對人了，他的音樂舞蹈造詣深，是正式學藝出身的……他演利瑪竇由年輕演到老，也拿捏得非常到位。…

…Casting Jonathan Wong as Ricci was the right choice. He is deeply accomplished in music and dance, formally trained… He plays Ricci from youth to old age, and judges it all exactly right.…

…《利瑪竇》則是近乎奇蹟般的音樂劇製作，這亦是過去半年來，能於苦澀有如悲情城市般的香港時局下，能為觀眾帶來正能量的舞臺製作。…

…“Matteo Ricci” is a near-miraculous piece of musical theatre, and one of the few stage productions of the past six months able to bring an audience something positive amid a Hong Kong as bitter as a city of sorrow.…

…音樂劇《利瑪竇》把歷史上著名的「中華禮儀之爭」融入劇中，使此劇的精神理念得到極大的提高…亦對今天國際地緣政治的亂局多所感悟。…

…“Matteo Ricci” works the famous Chinese Rites Controversy into the drama, which lifts the whole conception of the piece considerably… and it prompts a good deal of reflection on today’s disordered geopolitics.…

…講述了利瑪竇來華的多個「旅程」——地理上的、心靈上的，和傳道上的，以故事歌舞感動人心，是演出和製作團隊的無瑕配合，我沒有宗教信仰，也非常享受這個精彩演出。…

…It tells of Ricci’s several “journeys” to China — geographical, interior, and missionary — moving the audience through story, song and dance, in flawless partnership between performers and production team. I hold no religious faith, and I enjoyed this splendid production enormously.…
