La Scala Milan - Salome (Herod)

"...prestazione impeccabile..."

Drammaturgia.it, Sara Mamone, 27.03.07

"L’Herodes di Peter Bronder […] delinea appropriatamente un Tetrarca “voglioso” ma al contempo succube della consorte."

Operaclick, Ugo Malasoma, 08.03.07

Metropolitan Opera New York – Falstaff

“Dr Caius (Peter Bronder in his Met debut) took the stage and began singing in a strong, firm tenor. When such a small part is so well cast you are in for an unusual evening; the attention to detail that characterised his performance has become, unfortunately, unusual.”

Anne Midgette, New York Times, 26.09.05

Glyndebourne Touring Opera – Idomeneo

“At the centre is a performance of considerable power from Peter Bronder as Idomeneo, his body racked with emotion, his voice at once noble and terrified. His coloratura expresses a deep inner anguish and his colloquies with Julianne de Villiers’ confused, dignified Idamante have tremendous force.”

Tim Ashley, The Guardian

Cleveland Orchestra – Siegfried (Mime) – Christoph von Dohnanyi

“Peter Bronder (Mime) and Peter Sidhom (Alberich) were first rate.”

Bernard Holland, New York Times

“Peter Bronder was a marvellous Mime, who acted as well as he sang”

Mark Kanny, The Tribune

“Peter Bronder brought an impressive force to the role of Mime”

Eliane Guregian, Akron Beacon Journal

“Everyone else was superb: Peter Bronder’s marvellously conniving Mime…”

Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer

“But neither Siegfried nor Brünnhilde made half the impact of Peter Bronder's Mime, one of the most impressive impersonations of any Wagner character this writer has ever encountered. This Mime was so emotionally wrought, so loathsome, so vividly sung and acted, that he seemed by far the most dangerous and fearsome creature in the story. Bronder's enormous range of tone, nuance and colour far outstripped…”

Robert Markow, Web Review

Pittsburgh Symphony - Master Peter

"While one's eyes were on the puppets, one's ears were with the performers, who rendered the colorful score expertly. A slimmed-down PSO sat stage right of the puppeteers, with three singers providing the voices of Quixote (David Wilson-Johnson), Master Peter (Peter Bronder) and the boy narrator (Awet Andemicael)."

Andrew Druckenbrod, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, 21.10.06

LSO – Salome (Herod) – Richard Hickox

“Peter Bronder is a wonderful Herod, a real slimeball, at once funny and sinister, vocally more refined than many and avoiding the usual tendency to bark rather than sing.”

Tim Ashley, Guardian

“Peter Bronder’s Herod, every word sung and acted for the greatest impact, was chillingly good, even funny, and weirdly moral.”

Robert Thicknesse, The Times

Scottish Opera – Das Rheingold (Loge)

“The star is undoubtedly the impish sardonic Loge of Peter Bronder, dressed and coiffed like a cross between Rupert Bear and Oscar Wilde. He sings his music quite magnificently, with incisive diction and an innate sense of the fire god’s irony.”

Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times

“the star of the evening was Peter Bronder’s wily and incisive Loge who rose above the humiliation of his Rupert Bear outfit to dominate the action.”

Claire Wrathall, The Independent on Sunday

“the stand-out performance was Peter Bronder as Loge. His singing was in great form and he created an entertaining and rounded character.”

Thom Dibdin, Edinburgh Evening News

“Peter Bronder’s Loge is a mercurial highlight.”

Tim Abrahams, Sunday Herald

“Peter Bronder’s Loge, a gift of a part, makes every acidulated aside count”

Andrew Clements, The Guardian
