"Michael Colvin brought a sweet,
agile lyric tenor to Don Ottavio's two arias" - John von Rhein, Chicago
Tribune on Mozart's Don Giovanni (Chicago Opera Theater, 2008)
"Canadians Rhoslyn Jones,
soprano, as Donna Anna, and Michael Colvin, tenor, as Don Ottavio are well-matched as the
opera's second odd couple and do more to humanize their characters than one sees in many a
stand-and-sing grand opera production" - Andrew Patner, Chicago Sun-Times on
Mozart's Don Giovanni (Chicago Opera Theater, 2008)
"The singing on the whole was
excellent, with Krisztina Szabós Elvira, Michael Colvins Ottavio, and (Matt
Boehler's) Leporello probably the stand-outs" - Bernard Jacobson, Seen and
Heard on Mozart's Don Giovanni (Chicago Opera Theater, 2008)
"Her charming prince, Michael Colvin, manages to produce a ringing tenor
informed in a appealing way with the warmth and kindness of his character." -
Pat McElroy, KBPS All Classical Radio on Rossini's LA CENERENTOLA
(Portland Opera, 2007)
"Tenor Michael Colvin's Don Ramiro, the prince, was a model of earnest youth and his
chemistry with Niederloh (Cenerentola) was perfect." - James McQuillan, The
Oregonian on Rossini's LA CENERENTOLA (Portland Opera, 2007)
"Gerontius, sung with elegance and the purity of lyricism by
Irish-Canadian tenor, Michael Colvin, is a taxing role that requires an almost Verdian
thrust but also the most expansive sense of lyrical control. Colvins diction was
brilliant and his use of text was especially moving. A free and impressive upper register,
the squillo of his tenore bruciato added to the dramatic presence of Gerontius.
Although this is a concert work, Colvin was continually in character and indeed most
musically presented." - Mary-Lou P. Vetere, Opera Today on Elgar's DREAM OF
GERONTIUS (Elora Festival, 2007)
"Festival artistic director Noel
Edison, who conducted, had invited a stellar, all-Canadian vocal cast (including) tenor
Michael Colvin, as an expertly nuanced Gerontius" - John Terauds, The
Toronto Star on Elgar's DREAM OF GERONTIUS (Elora Festival, 2007)
"The Irish-Canadian tenor Michael
Colvin performed the part of the Soul of Gerontius. Colvin has a beautiful and appealing
voice and throughout Gerontius' journey, the tenor invoked a sense of pathos, particularly
in the darker moments." - Daniel Ariaratnam, The Record on Elgar's DREAM OF
GERONTIUS (Elora Festival, 2007)
"Michael
Colvin (Ferrando), who has impressed audiences in Rossini and Donizetti, showed that he is
also a fine Mozartian, with an elegantly sung 'Un'aura amorosa'." - Joseph
K. So, Opera Magazine on Mozart's COSI FAN TUTTE (Canadian Opera Company, 2007)
"The tenor, Michael Colvin, has one of the finest lyric voices in the
land." - Ken Winters, The Globe and Mail on Mozart's REQUIEM with Peter
Oundjian (Toronto Symphony Orchestra, 2007)
"But the musical performance was outstanding, with an impressive quartet
of singers in the taxing main roles and some crisp, fluent playing by the Garsington Opera
Orchestra, conducted by David Parry. A persuasive Carmen Giannattasio in the title role,
Alexandra Sherman as a kilt-wearing, punkish Malcolm and Michael Colvin as the unlovely
chieftain Rodrigo all but overcame the vocal obstacles Rossini puts in their way. Bursting
with showpiece arias, this rarely heard score intrigues and delights from first bar to
last." - Fiona Maddocks, The Evening Standard on Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO
(Garsington Opera, 2007)
"But, for all the jokes, this beautifully detailed staging delineates the
emotional truths of the drama perfectly, and musical standards under conductor Parry are
equally high. Michael Colvin is Rodrigo di Dhu, another high-pressure tenor role
dispatched with great aplomb." - Andrew Clements, The Guardian Unlimited on
Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO (Garsington Opera, 2007)
"There is some excellent singing... Michael Colvin bravely tackles the
almost unsingable role of the rebel leader Rodrigo with its high-range, two-octave
leaps." - Warwick Thompson, Bloomberg News on Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO
(Garsington Opera, 2007)
"The two tenors, Colin Lee (as
the desguised king) and Michael Colvin (as the rebels' leader), were easily her (Carmen
Giannattasio's) equals in mobility and articulation, and the fabulous Act II trio, with
volleys of high Cs out-pinging each other against her death defying roulades, was the
stuff of legend." - Peter Reed, Seven Magazine (The Telegraph) on Rossini's
DONNA DEL LAGO (Garsington Opera, 2007)
"Rossinis Scottish
melodrama La donna del Lago is rarely performed because so few singers can survive the
vocal gymnastics. Garsington Opera has managed to find them... The young cast rises to the
challenge of one sensational aria after another. Michael Colvin as Rodrigo matches (Colin)
Lee (Giacomo) in an aria battle of the high Cs" - Clare Colvin (no
relation!), Sunday Express on Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO (Garsington Opera, 2007)
"In this production we are richly supplied with sweet sounds by the
singers and players, under conductor David Parry. Michael Colvin gives an impressive
account of her (Elena's) rejected suitor Rodrigo, sloughing off any embarrassment he might
be feeling over the absurdity of his costume." - By Chris Gray, The Oxford
Times on Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO (Garsington Opera, 2007)
"Salvation comes from Rossinis top-notch score, brightly guided by
the conductor David Parry, and artists largely unfazed by Rossinis technical
challenges... Hats off to Colin Lee (Giacomo) and Michael Colvin (Rodrigo)"
- Geoff Brown, The Times on Rossini's DONNA DEL LAGO (Garsington Opera, 2007)
SELECTED REVIEWS | 2006
"The Philharmonia performance was graced by superior
soloists. Michael Colvin delivered the tenor solos with a bright, forward tone and shaped
his phrases with dynamic energy." - Michael Zwiebach, San Francisco
Classical Voice (sfcv.org) on Bach's CHRISTMAS ORATORIO (San Francisco's Philharmonia
Baroque, 2006)
"The solo singers - soprano Susanne Rydén, mezzo-soprano Elizabeth Turnbull,
tenor Michael Colvin and bass Nathaniel Watson - limned their arias smoothly, limiting
their vibratos, keeping their voices in balance with the orchestra." -
Timothy Mangan - The Orange County Register on Bach's CHRISTMAS ORATORIO (San Francisco's
Philharmonia Baroque, 2006)
"The soloists were uniformly strong. Tenor Michael Colvin and
baritone Nathaniel Watson brought clarity and urgency to their assignments."
- Georgia Rowe, Contra Costa Times on Bach's CHRISTMAS ORATORIO (San Francisco's
Philharmonia Baroque, 2006)
"Tenor Michael Colvin and baritone Peter McGillivray were quite thrilling in
the Pearl Fishers duet... Michael Colvin made resonant work of the only operetta aria of
the evening, Dein ist mein ganzes Herz from Lehar's The Land of Smiles."-
Ken Winters, The Globe and Mail on the Inaugural Celebrations for Torontos Four
Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (Canadian Opera Company, 2006)
"Highlights included a ringing 'Pearl Fishers duet' sung by Michael Colvin
and Peter McGillivray" - Now Magazine on the Inaugural Celebrations for
Torontos Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts (Canadian Opera Company, 2006)
"Michael Colvin possesses one of the most beautiful young lyric tenor
instruments around, and he found a congenial assignment in Belmonte. His voice is sizable,
with an intrinsic timbral sweetness - capable of a heroic ring above the staff, as well as
cleanly articulated passage work. He was gratifyingly allowed "Ich baue
ganz", dispatching this technical litmus test with velocity and grace."
- Mark Thomas Ketterson, OPERA NEWS on Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Chicago Opera
Theater, 2006)
"The aforementioned good singing was headed by Canadian Michael Colvin, who
justified having Belmonte get all four of his arias (where) his lovely, clear tenor
shone." - Richard Covello, Opera CANADA on Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE
SERAGLIO (Chicago Opera Theater, 2006)
"She (Leah Partridge as Konstanze) is strongly matched by the bright,
ardent tenor Michael Colvin as Belmonte. He traces the long Mozartean lines with an
elegance and grace matched by a dashing stage presence, also a coloratura technique that
conquers all with disarming ease." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune on
Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Chicago Opera Theater, 2006)
"Handsome and stalwart in his dashing aviator uniform and high boots,
Michael Colvin's Belmonte poured out his love in a seamless, creamy-toned tenor."
- Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times on Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Chicago Opera
Theater, 2006)
"Michael Colvins soaring tenor
brings out the idealistic devotion of Belmontes quest" - Lawrence
Bommer, Chicago Free Press on Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Chicago Opera
Theater, 2006)
"But if there is one thing in
this performance that could be called sublime, it would have to be the Benedictus
performed by tenor Michael Colvin. Colvin is an exciting artist who has the remarkable
ability to make every note in the longest, most florid lines stand out clearly and
cleanly, and his effortless delivery really put a shine on the evening's
performance." - Steven Baric, The Chronicle-Journal on Bach's B-MINOR MASS
(Thunder Bay Symphony, 2006)
SELECTED REVIEWS | 2005
"The Irish-born tenor Michael Colvin
was best: stylish, vigorous, communicative, impeccable and free in florid passages,
touching in pathos, a model Handelian." - Ken Winters, The Globe and Mail on
MESSIAH (Toronto Symphony Orchestra, 2005)
"The bright sounds of soprano Nathalie Paulin and tenor Michael Colvin
were aural perfection..." - Paula Citron, Classical 96.3 FM on MESSIAH
(Toronto Symphony Orchestra, 2005)
"Among the soloists, the star was tenor
Michael Colvin. His voice is both powerful and beautiful a rare combination
and his runs are a triumph. The familiar opening lines, "Comfort ye, my
people," were indeed comforting: no fussy ornamentation, just lovely, convincing
sound. He made real the promise of making the crooked straight and the rough places plain,
and what could be more meaningful in these difficult times? Mozart gave "Rejoice
greatly" to the tenor, and Colvin sang it better than most sopranos, taking it
at a good clip, every sixteenth note clear and in tune. He sang "Thou shalt break
them" with impressive coloratura and great dramatic force." - Anna
Carol Dudley, San Francisco Classical Voice (sfcv.org) on MESSIAH (Philharmonia
Baroque, 2005)
"Among the soloists, tenor Michael Colvin stood out for his warm, fluid
contributions, beginning with his inviting account of "Ev'ry valley shall be
exalted"." - Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle on MESSIAH
(Philharmonia Baroque, 2005)
"[T]his is a superb score, which is served up with panache by the COC
Orchestra under conductor Harry Bicket, and a powerful cast, with particularly delicious
performances from (Danielle) de Niese, (Gerald) Thompson and (Michael) Colvin, all of whom
combine strong talents on both a vocal and dramatic level." - John
Coulborne, The Toronto Sun on Handel's RODELINDA (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"Canadian tenor Michael Colvin, as the villainous usurper Grimoaldo, also
sang up a storm, and his one atypical, wistful aria, about the shepherd finding peace with
his sheep, was surprising and touching." - Ken Winters, The Globe and Mail
on Handel's RODELINDA (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"The COCs new production of Handels 1725 opera
Rodelinda is a triumph... The talents of Canadian tenor Michael Colvin,
mezzo-soprano Marie-Nicole Lemieux, and countertenor Daniel Taylor are well-known and they
dont disappoint." - Paula Citron, CLASSICAL 96.3 FM on Handel's
RODELINDA (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"Of all Canada's superb tenors, these days the Irish-born but
Canadian-raised and -trained Colvin is the one I most look forward to hearing. His lovely,
healthy tenor, allied to his sure sense of pitch, was the rock, Saturday, of those Verdian
ensembles, which take chromaticism well beyond Wagner. Colvin's big solo, the Ingemisco,
was gorgeous, and his opening phrases at the "Hostias" in the Offertorium
were very moving." - Ken Winters, The Globe and Mail on Verdi's REQUIEM
(Elora Festival, 2005)
"Soprano Sally Dibblee, mezzo Krisztina Szabo and tenor Michael Colvin
performed splendidly in their demanding roles... Colvin, who had performed the lyric tenor
role in Haydn's Creation two weeks earlier, showed his versatility by delivering
full-blown operatic tenor tone in Verdi." - Simon Irving, Guelph Mercury on
Verdi's REQUIEM (Elora Festival, 2005)
"Une mention pour le Canadien Michael Colvin, qui fait presque jeu egal
avec la contralto polonaise (Ewa Podles). Qualite du timbre, aisance dans les vocalises,
intuition stylistique: ce tenor a tout pour faire carriere dans Rossini" (trans:
"A mention for the Canadian Michael Colvin, who is almost the equal of Polish
contralto Ewa Podles. Quality of tone, ease of technique, stylistic intuition: this tenor
has it all for a career in Rossini.") - David Shengold, Opera
International on Rossini's TANCREDI (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"Coming closest to her artistic level was Canadian tenor Michael Colvin,
who brought an attractive sound, fleet coloratura, dramatic dignity and stylistic
understanding to Argirio. Its time for Colvins excellent Rossinian work to be
better-known." - David Shengold, Gay City News New York on Rossini's
TANCREDI (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"Michael Colvins Argirio is unforgettable a vivid portrait of
a conflicted father who has to fight against both despair and heartbreak over his
ill-fated daughter. His tenor voice is crisp and capable of the most interesting shadings
even at its sharpest heights." - Keith Garebian of Stage and Page on
Rossini's TANCREDI (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
"The Canadian tenor Michael Colvin sang astonishingly well in the
impossible role of Argirio, the vacillating father of the heroine Amenaide, who adores his
daughter on the one hand and signs her death warrant on the other." - Ken
Winters, The Globe and Mail on Rossini's TANCREDI (Canadian Opera Company, 2005)
SELECTED REVIEWS | 2004
"The orchestra was joined by
about 125 Richard Eaton Singers and the very impressive lyric tenor Michael Colvin, who
sang songs perfect for his strong, warm, Irish-tenor-style voice. In the second half,
Colvin sang Schubert's Ave Maria and O Holy Night, both of which gave
him a chance to display the heights of his range and inject a little religious feeling
into the evening." - Edmonton Journal on HOLIDAY POPS
CONCERT (Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, 2004)
"Tenor Michael Colvin's work was
of equal mettle (to that of mezzo-soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers). From the opening
recitative, Comfort Ye, one knew that he would make an outstanding contribution
to the enterprise." - Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen on Handel's MESSIAH
with Trevor Pinnock (NAC Orchestra , 2004)
"Tenor Michael Colvin shone brightest... his sweet, incisive tenor soaring
out in that way lyric tenors have of making romance heroic." - Stephen
Pedersen, The Chronicle Herald on Proms Concert (Symphony Nova Scotia, 2004)
"All four (soloists) were strong indeed, from Lichti's bursting entrance
with the theme, and Colvin's splendid solo." - Simon Irving, The Guelph
Mercury on Beethoven's NINTH SYMPHONY (Elora Festival, 2004)
"Michael Colvin's glorious tenor made for a noble Adam" -
Tamara Bernstein, The National Post on Scarlatti's IL PRIMO OMICIDIO (Grand River Baroque
Festival, 2004)
"Tenor Michael Colvin spun pure, lyric honey as Belfiore, his Act II duet
with Durkin providing the vocal highlight of the evening." - Mark Thomas
Ketterson, Opera News on Rossini's IL VIAGGIO A REIMS (Chicago Opera Theater, 2004)
"Among the men, the big discovery was the fast-rising Rossini tenor
Michael Colvin, singing sweetly, ardently and musically as Belfiore." - John
von Rhein, Chicago Tribune on Rossini's IL VIAGGIO A REIMS (Chicago Opera Theater, 2004)
"As the lecherous Il Cavalier Belfiore, Michael Colvin blended an Irish
tenor of high-flying innocence with wonderfully oily manners. His duet with Corinna was a
highlight of the evening." - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times on Rossini's
IL VIAGGIO A REIMS (Chicago Opera Theater, 2004)
"The two tenors were outstanding: John Osborn brought ardency and
brilliant top notes to the Russian Conte di Libenskof (and) Michael Colvin sang sweetly
and smoothly as the debonair Chevalier Belfiore." - Mark Mandel, OPERA NEWS
on Rossini's IL VIAGGIO A REIMS (Portland Opera, 2004)
"Michael Colvin's tenor was the first voice to cut through the choral
textures. His clean, youthful delivery matched Yana Ivanilova's elegant soprano."
- Andrew Thompson, Winnipeg Free Press on Dvorak STABAT MATER (Winnipeg Symphony
Orchestra, 2004)
"Michael Colvin, as the romantic lead Belmonte, was assured and luminous
in his solo work, and an excellent partner for soprano Aline Kutan as Konstanze..."
- David Gordon Duke, Vancouver Sun on Mozart's ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Vancouver
Opera, 2004)
"The two tenors, Michael Colvin as Belmonte and Marcel van Neer as
Pedrillo, both sang with assurance and style... Colvin's rich tones and velvet lyricism
were very moving." - Elizabeth Paterson, ReviewVancouver.org on Mozart's
ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO (Vancouver Opera, 2004)
"Tenor Michael Colvin sang the livelier songs, the first, third and fifth,
in a fine clear voice that was both sweet and powerful." - Stephen Pedersen,
The Chronicle Herald on Mahler's DAS LIED VON DER ERDE (Symphony Nova Scotia, 2004)
SELECTED REVIEWS | 2003
"the best surprise was tenor Michael Colvin, like (contralto Marie-Nicole)
Lemieux, making his debut with the TSO. His vibrato-free, deep-felt recitatives,
consistent warmth and the heroic cast he brings to his singing suggest a very successful
future." - Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star on Handel's MESSIAH (Toronto
Symphony Orchestra, 2003)
"Tenor Michael Colvin made an auspicious TS (Toronto Symphony) debut. He
has very good diction and the requisite flexibility for the coloratura in "Every
valley". He was also the most involved of the soloists, relishing the performance,
often singing along with the choir." - Joseph So, La Scena Musicale on
Handel's MESSIAH (Toronto Symphony Orchestra, 2003)
"Michael Colvin's clear, bright, lyrical tenor wonderfully suited his
Beethoven and Schubert songs. In Beethoven's 'The Kiss', he deftly brought out the
musico-poetic transformation from serious romance to jocular situation. Colvin made his
songs his own - they seemed to be part of his living, breathing being. He always found a
way of singing a repeated word or phrase differently the second time around. His German
diction was well nigh pristine. His simple gestures, body language and facial expressions
added an extra sheen to his presentation." - Leonard Turnevicius, The
Hamilton Spectator on Opera Ontario's LIEDERABEND (Opera Ontario, 2003)
"Tenor Michael Colvin, with his sweet and even vocal tone, is an endearing
Lindoro." - Willa J. Conrad, The Star-Ledger on Rossini's L'ITALIANA IN

- Albert H. Cohen, Home News Tribune & Asbury Park Press on Rossini's L'ITALIANA IN
ALGERI (Opera Festival of New Jersey, 2003)

tessitura with fortitude" - David Shengold, Opera News on Rossini's
L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI (Opera Festival of New Jersey, 2003)
"As Lindoro, Colvin displays a delicate tenor with ringing highs"
- Anita Donovan, The Trenton Times on Rossini's L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI (Opera Festival
of New Jersey, 2003)

whose career is building rapidly, as audiences love his rich lyric tenor and fine
artistry" - Simon Irving, Guelph Mercury on Handel's ACIS AND GALATEA
(Guelph Spring Festival, 2003)

tenor Michael Colvin" - Tamara Bernstein, The National Post on Rossini's

Rossinian... Colvin proved an impressive Lindoro, singing with outstanding agility and
clarion, elegant tone." - Joseph So, OPERA Magazine (UK) on Rossini's
L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI (Canadian Opera Company, 2003)

timbre and pinpoint accuracy." - William Shackleford, OPERA Magazine (UK) on
Handel's SEMELE (Chicago Opera Theater, 2002)

tenor robust and forwardly placed, wonderful to hear in the opera's most famous air, Where'er
you walk." - John von Rhein, Chicago Tribune on Handel's SEMELE
(Chicago Opera Theater, 2002)
"Where'er you walk was ardently tender, its gentle
contours shaped like an erotic embrace." - Wynne Delacoma, Chicago Sun-Times
on Handel's SEMELE (Chicago Opera Theater, 2002)
"Setting the tone was Canadian tenor Michael Colvin, whose
Male Chorus was absolutely bright in color, clear in diction and musically secure,
towering over the three other male soloists." - Richard Covello, Opera
Canada on Britten's THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA (Chicago Opera Theater, 2002)
"he nearly had the show stolen from under
his nose by the fast-rising tenor Michael Colvin, whose droll Cavaliere Belfiore was a
model of Rossini vocalism." - Joseph So, OPERA Magazine (UK) on Rossini's IL
VIAGGIO A REIMS (Canadian Opera Company, 2002)
SELECTED REVIEWS | 2001

precision, feeling and superb diction" - Richard Todd, The Ottawa Citizen on
Handel's MESSIAH (National Arts Centre Orchestra, 2000)
"The brightest light of the evening was tenor Michael Colvin
in the role of Count Almaviva. Colvin's voice seemed a perfect model of the 'bel canto'
style of singing that Rossini's music employed. Supple and plaint, it moved beautifully
and with precision through the rapidly decorated vocal runs supplied by the
composer." - Tim McDonald, The Sun Newspaper on Rossini's THE BARBER OF
SEVILLE (Lyric Opera of Kansas City, 2000)
"Michael Colvin stood out in a uniformly strong cast as a
brilliant Male Chorus, exemplary in diction and tonal colouration, highly intelligent in
verbal stress without losing the musical line." - Peter Dyson, OPERA
Magazine on Britten's THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA (Canadian Opera Company, 1999)
"Almaviva was the young Michael Colvin, a tenor of whom we
shall hear more I am sure... it's all there, technique, tone and stage presence."

1999)
