    • Hagenbach (Catalani’s La Wally), Opera Holland Park,
      August 2011

      Adrian Dwyer tackled the stratospheric tenor role – a veritable Matterhorn in itself – with heroic stamina
      The Times, R. Morrison
      As her love-object, Hagenbach is more complex – taking the idea of hurting those we love the most to extremes. Adrian Dwyer conveyed conflicted cruelty with considerable panache, and his lyrical tenor made its mark in the role’s high tessitura.

      Bloomberg.com, W. Thompson
      I thought Adrian Dwyer might be too light of voice for this role… however, he gave a decent account… rising to the ardour of the final scene well, his tenor ringing through the mountains

      His good son Edgar was cleanly sung… and well acted by Adrian Dwyer
      Opera, Andrew Porter
      Edgar, who was movingly portrayed by Adrian Dwyer, especially in his feigned madness, his youthful tenor well contrasted with that of Gloucester
      Opera Britannia, Mark Pullinger

      Adrian Dwyer sang a lyrical and honey-toned Edgar

      wheresrunnicles.com, Finn Pollard
