“...Stuart Skelton's virile, baritonal Siegmund, with the most thrilling cries of 'Nothung' and 'Wälse' since the prime of James King”
Opera
"It is the Grimes of the young Australian Stuart Skelton - surely the finest on a London stage since the celebrated Jon Vickers - who sets the seal on the evening"
The Sunday Times
"This superb company acheivement has Stuart Skelton's towering performance at its heart...probably the most complete Grimes in London since Jon Vickers at Covent Garden in the 1970's."
The Guardian
"Stuart Skelton's Siegmund, however, is something special: a clear, dark genuinely lyric heldentenor (if that's not an oxymoron) full of emotional vulnerability - perhaps the finest singer I've heard in this role since Ben Heppner or even James King......the voice is gorgeous."
Stereophile
" In the title role, tenor Stuart Skelton is about as good as Parsifal gets, with beautifully modulated phrasing, effortless power, crystal-clear diction and tender top notes. Add to that a tall, solid frame and you have a Wagnerian hero."
