Recent Reviews
“Colvin [as King Herod]… sang with force and impressive tone as he tore up the stage with his riveting portrayal. He was superb.”
San Francisco Classical Voice, Salome with ENO, Oct 2018
“Colvin sounds wonderful, but was physically inside the role. You couldn’t take your eyes off of him, especially in his brutal death scene.” BarczaBlog.com, Louis Riel with Canadian Opera Company, June 2017
“Michael Colvin’s rich lyrical tenor evoked the sinister cruelty of Rodolphe, Gelser’s commander.”
Opera Today, Guillaume Tell with Royal Opera, June 2015
“I have rarely heard [the tenor part] sung with greater conviction — a performance of distinctive character and refined musical sense.”
– The Calgary Herald, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony
