Abduction from the Seraglio, Opera North, 2009

“Opera North has established a fresh, young team, of whom debutante conductor Rory Macdonald is the youngest and freshest of all. His sprightly account is well supported by Elena Xanthoudakis’s dark-toned Blonde, Allan Clayton’s ardently sung Belmonte and Nicholas Sharratt‘s powerful Pedrillo.”

Alfred Hickling, The Guardian, 25 May 2009

“Nicholas Sharratt and Elena Xanthoudakis were well-balanced in the rival love pairing” Opera

“…the vocal performances are strong and resilient, …Nicholas Sharratt is an appealing Pedrillo.”

Lynne Walker, The Independent, 4 June 2009

“Nicholas Sharratt sang Pedrillo’s adorable serenade neatly and sweetly…”

Rupert Christiansen, The Daily Telegraph, 21 May 2009

reviews

“Best is Nicholas Sharratt, whose poised singing and acting put Paris's dilemmas rather than Priam's at the centre of the drama.” Rupert Christiensen, The Daily Telegraph

"Nicholas Sharratt is similarly strong as Count Almaviva, with a plangent tenor capable of negotiating even "Cessa di più resistere" with pleasing ease..." John Allison, Sunday Telegraph

"Nicholas Sharratt is equally secure circling round the top Cs of Ernesto’s part. But he also makes something impressively three-dimensional of this indolent sponger." Richard Morrison, The Times.
