“Peter Strummer performed the role of Alberich with a sense of painful and tragic alienation, yet gaining a deep sense of pity for his plight meaning that both his acting, and his singing was faultless.”
“Peter Strummer’s Alberich was a complicated character who moved from frustration, to triumph, to defeat.”
Das Rheingold, New Orleans Opera
“The hero of the concert was incontestably Peter Strummer, as treacherous and mocking as one could hope for as Alberich. His voice and gestures when cursing the gods were worthy of a staged version more than a concert adaptation.”
Das Rheingold, L’Opéra de Montréal
“Peter Strummer brought a flash to the sluggish character of Alberich and his curses after the ring was taken from him were of such fury that our blood, like that of the gods, ran cold.”
