posesses a beautiful, bright Spieltenor. The wonderful
duet from the couple [Jan/Bronislawa] was an absolute
delight."

"Mark Calvert
as Freddy Eynsford-Hill declaimed his love to Eliza with
an impressive, beautiful voice." |
- BLICKPUNKT
MUSICAL, Vienna |

"Exquisite…
he had the right touch with his arias [from
J.S. Bach's St. John Passion]." |

"With
the rock-solid portrayal of a stoic grave digger, Mark
Calvert presented a delicious portrayal of the Swan."
|
| - RHEIN-NECKAR ZEITUNG,
Germany |
| |
| "Mark Calvert
sang with a lyric timbre and avoided the temptation of
letting his Swan on the grill whine, as is too often heard
during performances."
|
| - MANNHEIMER MORGEN,
Germany |
| |
"Tenor
Mark Calvert showed excellent coloratura and his solo
was masterfully cultivated…"
|

|
| |
"Although Mark
Calvert was required to act in the background as [Symon's]
"secretary," his voice was equally as expressive
[as Christian Zenker in the title role]. As well, he is
an exceedingly chic young man. It is easily understandable
that Bronislawa [soprano, Gotho Griesmeier] burns with
love for him."

- DER NEUE MERKER, Vienna |
| |
"Mark Calvert as Freddy...
splendidly sung..." |
- OBERÖSTERREICHISCHE

"It was almost
inconcievable that [Julia Klotz as Eliza] did not fall
for Mark Calvert's dense but adorable Freddy." |
- ÖSTERREICH ZEITUNG,
Austria |
| |
"Tenor
Mark Calvert negotiated the florid intricacies of Ev'ry
Valley with assurance, but I liked even more his firm
timbre and top notes in Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron. A pleasant surprise to find a tenor who understood
the aria deals with grim prophecy rather than huff and
puff bluster and thus resisted blowing the roof off. Calvert…ornamented
[his] lines tastefully just enough to bring out interpretative
nuance." |
- THE NEW MEXICAN, USA |
|
|
| "...an exceptionally supple and
flexible voice." |
- MANNHEIMER MORGEN, Germany |
| |
"...a warm,
lyric tenor." |
- RHEINPFALZ-ZEITUNG, Germany |

insidious aide Spoletta tenor Mark Calvert was remarkably
slimy"
|
| - PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE,
USA |
| |
"Mark
Calvert engraved the evening with remarkable vocal highlights." |
| - RHEINPFALZ-ZEITUNG,
Germany |
| |
| "The highbrow
side was also well represented with two richly talented
Seattle Opera Young Artists - tenor Mark Calvert and soprano
Sarah Coburn - as the touching young lovers in a duet from
Kurt Weill's Street Scene." |
