CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE ROLE OF HOFFMANN
Hage’s characterization of Hoffmann was a subtly shaded depiction of a terminally romantic soul in search of himself. His tall, devilishly handsome presence was matched by an elegant tenor that remained strong, from the Prologue’s Kleinzach story to “O Dieu! de quelle ivresse” in this production’s Act III.
— Opera News
The role of Hoffmann is what opera veterans call a “big sing.” A key part of the prologue, epilogue and all three acts, he acts as both storyteller and protagonist. Hage never lost his poise, singing with unerring sweetness and clarity[.]
— The Aspen Times
Roy Hage was an ardent Hoffman. His lyric tenor was free of strain in the top range and he artfully conserved his vocal resources for the big moments throughout the protagonist’s long and taxing role. Hage brought special fervor and tonal richness to the duet with … Antonia.
— South Florida Classical Review
Roy Hage in the title role was very confident in his part. In addition to a beautiful voice, the young singer has an excellent French diction that could be envied by some famous professionals.

5:41 — Duet: “À toi, ma Juliette …”
11:11 — Aria: “Console-toi, pauve âme”
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE ROLE OF ROMÉO
Acting-wise [Roy Hage’s performance was] reminiscent of John Stride’s ardent Romeo with the Old Vic, splendidly and elegantly sung – intimate passages gossamerly spun and sensitively delivered in heart-stopping piano or mezza voce, forte phrases powerfully and passionately opulent without loss of focus or poetry (including the high Cs of ‘Non! je mourrai, mais je veux la [revoir]’ and ‘… a’ cette ardente [ivresse]’) - [he] brought honor to Gounod’s vocal writing, Shakespeare’s star-crossed tragic hero, [his] adoring public, and mostly to [his] personal artistry currently at the nuanced zenith of [his] tenure in Philadelphia.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR THE ROLE OF NEMORINO
