CRITICAL ACCLAIM


"...his rich voice investing [Leporello] with dignity and even nobility..." – The Rapidian


Don Giovanni – "The opera begins with Leporello, servant to the titular character, singing of a wish to be free of his master. This production is set in contemporary times, as his clothes make clear; he might have been an Eastern European man headed for a night at the club. Alex Soare portrayed him convincingly, his rich voice investing the character with dignity and even nobility."

__________


"...Soare’s deep vocal and physical presence seemed to anchor the performance...” – TimesArgus


La fille du régiment – “A particular delight was bass-baritone Alex Soare as Sergeant Sulpice, Marie’s father-figure. Soare’s deep vocal and physical presence seemed to anchor the performance


__________


"...a rich, elegant bass-baritone...” – Palm Beach Arts Paper


Il barbiere di Siviglia – “Alex Soare, as Don Basilio, here reconceived as a photographer as well as a music master, demonstrated a rich, elegant bass-baritone”

__________


"...His big instrument brought delicious slime to La calunnia è un venticello...” – Miami Art Zine


Il barbiere di Siviglia – “Alex Soare, tall, lithe and thin, was refreshing in his characterization of the music coach and paparazzi, Don Basilio. His big instrument brought delicious slime to La calunnia è un venticello.”

__________


"...showed off an impressive voice..." – Palm Beach Arts Paper


The Passenger – “One of the company’s Young Artists, American bass-baritone Alex Soare, showed off an impressive voice in his few lines as an SS man.”

__________


"...startlingly convincing..." – CVNC


Don Giovanni – "Soare was startlingly convincing as Leporello when the servant was called upon to masquerade as his master."
