4 February 2026

Peter Bronder has received critical acclaim following his performance as Monsieur Triquet in the premiere of Ralph Fiennes' production of Eugene Onegin: 

"If we may be surprised that the Paris Opera presents us with a Briton to interpret the role of a Frenchman, we admire the finesse with which Peter Bronder declaims the verses of Triquet, who has become a Dickensian character here" - Laurent Bury, Concert Classic.com

"Peter Bronder plays a convincing Monsieur Triquet, without cliché.” - Tancrède Lahary, ForumOpera

"Peter Bronder’s chirpy and lightly satirical Monsieur Triquet was also superb, using his trilling vocals to convey the whimsical humour found in Pushkin’s tale but which is too often ignored in operatic productions." - Olivia Hurton, Plays To See

"Peter Bronder Monsieur Triquet sings his song in French with care and precise intonation, but with a vibrant, sonorous and characterful comic tenor" - Vojin Jaglicic, Olyrix

"Peter Bronder finds the right balance between comedy and emotion in Monsieur Triquet." - Stéphane Lelièvre, Première Loge

"Peter Bronder [was] textbook as Monsieur Triquet." - Antoni Colomer, Platea Magazine

"The dances bring a slightly offbeat joy, two children run in all directions, the chorus (of exemplary cohesion) comes and goes with the naturalness that befits good society, distracted by the verses of Monsieur Triquet (whose picturesque repartee Peter Bronder has)." - Emmanuel Dupuy, Diapason

"Peter Bronder was very close, with his French song (« Brillez, brillez toujours belle Ta-ti-a-na »), to reminding us of Michel Sénéchal, the greatest Monsieur Triquet in history." - Paul Fourier, Cult News
