REVIEWS
"Alistair Ollerenshaw was a louring Bartolo whose resonant, scything baritone added a sense of danger to the knockabout comedy"
Yehuda Shapiro, Opera Magazine, November 2016, Rossini Festival 2016 Cadogan Hall
"Alistair Ollerenshaw was dramatically convincing as the hapless Bartolo and he has an attractive, bright singing tone."
Robert Beattie Seen and Heard International, September 2016, Rossini Festival 2016 Cadogan Hall
"Alistair Ollerenshaw's incisive baritone and urbane manner made Nick a gentleman among devils"
Yehuda Shapiro Opera Magazine, May 2015 Royal Academy Opera Stravinsky's 'The Rake's Progress'
"The ensemble performance was terrific, but particularly memorable [was the] imposing sound of Alistair Ollerenshaw"
Yehuda Shapiro Opera Magazine, November 2014 Royal Academy Opera Puccini's 'Gianni Schicchi'
"Don Giovanni and Sergeant Belcore (L'elisir d'amore) give outwardly-macho baritone George de Polignac (Alistair Ollerenshaw) the chance to strut his stuff. This he does to considerable effect."
Anne Morley-Priestman What's on Stage 27.06.2014 John Ramster's 'Kiss me, Figaro'
"Nice comic moments too: notably Alistair Ollerenshaw as George the gay baritone."
Libby Purves Theatre Cat, 15.06.2014 John Ramster's 'Kiss me, Figaro'
"The baritones Alistair Ollerenshaw...[was] testosterone charged Junius, and [his] vocal presence [was] suitably and formidably athletic,...Ollerenshaw exuding frustrated energy with bright-edged tone"
Yehuda Shapiro Opera Magazine, July 2014 Royal Academy Opera Britten's 'The Rape of Lucretia'
"Alistair Ollerenshaw made the most of the scheming Junius... A tempter and a teaser Ollerenshaw took clever and convincing control of Tarquinius from the start, with nicely observed incipient nastiness which grew into selfish political calculation"
Charlotte Valori Bachtrack 18.05.2014 Royal Academy Opera Britten's 'The Rape of Lucretia'
"Alistair Ollerenshaw (Figaro) and Vanessa Bowers (Susanna) veered convincingly
from lovers to combatants"
Myra Bennet Salisbury Journal 02.08.2012 Winterbourne Opera 'The Marriage of
Figaro'
"Alistair Ollerenshaw's two baritone solos displayed dramatic edge and splendidly clear articulation."
David Hart Birmingham Post 29.03.2012 Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem, Birmingham Bach
Choir, Cond. Paul Spicer
"But major plaudits must go to Alistair Ollerenshaw (baritone) whose finely-honed performance was
characterised by great assurance and authority."
Robert Cowan Wakefield Express December 2011 Handel Messiah, Yorkshire Philharmonic
Choir Cond. Andrew Padmore
