“The men sang well – notably Peter Strummer as Bartolo.”
“Peter Strummer was a superb Sacristan – vocally assured, dramatically agile, and able to blend the opera’s few moments of levity with the sense of menace that underlay everything else.”
Tosca, Opera Lyra Ottawa
“Peter Strummer’s Sacristan was a model in giving a supporting role maximum impact.”
Tosca, Canadian Opera Company
“Peter Strummer makes a delightful marriage broker.”
Bartered Bride, Washington Opera
“Bass-baritone Peter Strummer was a worthy adversary as Dr. Bartolo, a deep-toned and able vocal actor”
Il Barbiere di Siviglia, L’Opéra de Montréal
“Peter Strummer was a convincing Bartolo, with his testiness and just the right amount of boorishness… he was a pleasure to listen to.”
Il Barbiere di Siviglia, L’Opéra de Montréal
“Happily, Braun’s Figaro in this production is well matched by Dr. Bartolo, also splendidly sung and acted by the impressive bass-baritone Peter Strummer.”
Il Barbiere di Siviglia, L’Opéra de Montréal
“With his strong voice and great stage presence, Strummer commands your attention with his antics and natural acting ability. Demonstrative and fluid movements made his performance of the wicked stepfather most enjoyable to watch.”
La Cenerentola, Calgary Opera
“…the Viennese Peter Strummer, as Don Magnifico, did honor to the name of his character...”
La Cenerentola, Teatro de la Zarzuela
“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.”
Das Rheingold, L’Opéra de Montréal
“Peter Strummer made an observant fox of the roue de Brétigny, and thus showed how to make a secondary character intriguing.”
