“...the brightest stars of the evening were baritone Peter Strummer as Kecal, the marriage broker and [Vasek]. Bombastic, cocky, comically self-assured, Mr. Strummer’s character kept the plot in motion.”
“The best voices and the most effective acting must be credited to the two comic characters, Peter Strummer as the marriage broker Kecal and [Vasek].”
Bartered Bride, Washington Opera
“Kecal, the marriage broker, was artfully done by bass-baritone Peter Strummer. Strummer’s light touch was particularly appropriate for this manipulative gentleman.”
Bartered Bride, Washington Opera
“…the young Austrian approached the role with welcome security throughout his range, a genuine trill, a chuckle in his eye and a Zero Mostel-like leer on his face.”
Bartered Bride, Washington Opera
“Peter Strummer makes a delightful marriage broker.”
