“A masterclass in musical theater, pairing his nuanced singing with a powerful physical presence for a total tour de force.”
“The most impressive vocalist, and also the strongest characterization, comes from Pittsinger as Shadow. A dominating figure on stage, his resounding bass-baritone imparted impact to even the most trivial words. He managed to deliver the craggy lines of his Act II scene and aria, “Come, , master,” with the seductive urgency and magnetism of “Some enchanted evening.” Opera News, Robert Croan
“David Pittsinger’s Mephistopheles is a masterclass in elegant malevolence, blending his sonorous, commanding bass-baritone with a sophisticated, chilling magnetism that defines Gounod’s devil.” World-Herald, Drew Neneman
“David Pittsinger portrayed the title character superbly. You could hear every word, every inflection, every emotion in his deep, round, resonant voice, including amazing high notes that just kept going up and up and would have been out of range for most bass-baritones. His ability to emote vocally was beautiful.” Seattle Times, Nan Knight Haemer
“Bass David Pittsinger brought his own resonance and dignity to the part of the ship’s Capitán.” Stephen Brown/ Texas classical review
