English Reviews

“Watching Dunham’s stunning performance, it was hard to believe this was his first time playing the titular role—he was the embodiment of Mozart’s narcissistic seducer. Whether lasciviously licking his fingers after eating, leaning on a table ogling women, or reacting disdainfully to the ‘stone guest,’ Dunham held the audience’s rapt attention. From the dulcet tones of “Là ci darem la mano” to the explosive “Finch’han dal vino,” Dunham’s powerful and expressive voice easily handled the full range the role demanded.”

-Dawn Martens 2019 Opera Magazine Canada

“Christopher Dunham (Don Giovanni, whose strong voice ran an impressively wide gamut of music-dramatic expression, from the swagger and bravado of this privileged rake to soft, seductive phrases calculated for his predation)”

- Toronto Concert Reviews 2019

"The bullfighter Escamillo, was dashingly played by Christopher Dunham, a baritone of admirable focus.”

 -Montreal Gazette 2019

 "Christopher Dunham's Count Almaviva sang and acted his way with great gusto..."

- Hugh Fraser 2018 Opera Canada Magazine

“Baritone Christopher Dunham fortunately demonstrated that command in spades as Argante, King of Jerusalem, filling the stage with energy, as well as an alert, warm, expressive voice.”

-Opera Canada (2018 Rinaldo, POV)

“Baritone Christopher Dunham was amazing as Argante; vocally he was incredibly strong, without losing any weight from his voice even in the difficult coloratura passages that he navigated so well. His characterization of the villain was both menacing and comedic in equal measure, and his seduction of Almirena was great, but his on-again/off-again relationship with Armida was incredibly funny.”

-Schmopera, (2018 Rinaldo, POV)

“The supporting characters all managed to radiate a very youthful outgoing energy. In terms of voice, baritone Chris Dunham, who played a moustachioed Schaunard, stood out with his lyrical and ringing voice.” 

-La Scena Montreal 2018

"It was a triumph! This was mainly due to someone called Christopher Dunham, who sang the role of the barber, Figaro. Possessed of an enormous baritone voice that he used with great musicality and intelligence, he proved he could not only sing like a god but act brilliantly, dance, play the guitar..."

"Vocally powerful and dramatic Baritone..."
