REVIEWS

“The tenor Christopher Lemmings is an extraordinary Caliban…”
Caliban: The Tempest / Opéra national du Rhin / Anaclase

“…superbly performed by the tenor Christopher Lemmings.”
Caliban: The Tempest / Opéra national du Rhin / Concertclassic.com

“…fresh-voiced lyric tenor Christopher Lemmings.”
Caliban: The Tempest / Royal Opera, London  / The New York Times

“Caliban’s ‘isle is full of noises’ aria (particularly well sung at this performance by Christopher Lemmings, replacing an indisposed Ian Bostridge) was a highlight…”
Caliban: The Tempest / Royal Opera, London  / Sunday Telegraph

“The singers — Stephen Wallace (Pleasure), William Purefoy (Truth), Christopher Lemmings (Beauty), Roderick Williams (Deceit) and Stephen Richardson (Time) — all showed a remarkable ability to project themselves as dramatic agents amid the musical rowdiness, and they were all rock-solid musically, a tremendous accomplishment on its own.“
Beauty: The Triumph of Beauty and Truth / BCMG / Opera News

“…Christopher Lemmings is wonderful in the far-fetched character of Stoikus…”
Stoikus: Golem / Angers Nantes Opera / ResMusica

“…in particular, Christopher Lemmings as Sid the Sage was superb.”
Sid Thatcher: Sirius on Earth / Almeida Opera / The Independent

“Christopher Lemmings animated (his) lines with operatic fervour. Lemmings’ timbre in the upper reaches of the register lent an authentically Slav flavour to the music, matching the typically citrus colouring of Janacek’s orchestration.”
Glagolitic Mass / Brighton Festival / The Daily Telegraph 

“Christopher Lemmings’ voice is light and clear, with superb diction.”
Rorem: Auden Songs / Sanctuary Classics / BBC Music Magazine

“The performance from Christopher Lemmings, widely admired in so many modern operas, has total authority and conviction.”
Rorem: Auden Songs / Sanctuary Classics / Gramophone

“These are extremely fine performances of genuine commitment and respect: Rorem could hardly have cause for complaint. Christopher Lemmings in particular has plenty of chances to soar in the testing Auden songs – all the way to a top C in ‘Yes we are going to suffer.”
Rorem: Auden Songs / Sanctuary Classics / International Record Review

“Christopher Lemmings’ voice is light and clear, with superb diction.”
Rorem: Auden Songs / Sanctuary Classics / BBC Music Magazine

“Christopher Lemmings is a brilliantly persuasive Sellem…”
Sellem: The Rake’s Progress / Angers Nantes Opera / Opera

“Christopher Lemmings (Dov) handled the taxing vocal writing of Tippett’s work with ease.”
Dov: The Knot Garden / Music Theatre Wales – ROH 2 / Evening Standard

“Christopher Lemmings is a touchingly camp Dov, confused by his feelings for Rodney Clarke’s Mel.”
Dov: The Knot Garden / Music Theatre Wales – ROH 2 / The Guardian

“Christopher Lemmings and Rodney Clarke portrayed the gay lovers subtly and well.”
Dov: The Knot Garden / Music Theatre Wales – ROH 2 / Sunday Telegraph
