...the last Wotan you will ever need... "
"Kyle Albertson’s interpretation of Baron Scarpia, the villainous chief of police, was virtually the last word on the subject. His baritone voice is so powerful that he could be heard over the full orchestra, chorus, organ and canon blasts that bring the first act to a close. Vocally, dramatically – his performance was one that won’t be forgotten any time soon."
OnStage Pittsburgh
"Bass-baritone Kyle Albertson, in his Pittsburgh Opera debut, made a colossal first impression. Commanding in presence and gifted with a voice that fits the role of the Dutchman like a glove, his wide range allows for effortless high tones, as well as powerful, resonant, clear and cavernous lows that ring out with apparent ease to the eye and a thrill to the ear. It took no effort whatsoever to imagine why Senta would be willing to sacrifice everything for this Dutchman, and it was easy to imagine a line behind her in the last moments of the music drama."
OnStage Pittsburgh
"Kyle Albertson was a fantastic Wotan, his bass-baritone clear, steady, and incisive, the interpretation had nobility, power, and godlike authority."
Classical Voice
"Albertson commanded the stage with a powerful voice, masterful as a devout believer and stoic in his unrelenting dismissal of Salome's flattery and inviting beauty."
Classical Music Daily
"Kyle Albertson’s imposing presence and respect-demanding instrument was dominant in volume yet exacting in its intonation and declamation—it was wonderfully scary."
