Gustav Mahler: "Das Lied von der Erde" - 15. und 16.01.2012 Nationaltheater Weimar

Andreas Conrad gave the "Song of the Earth" - thanks to the brilliance of his voluminous voice - an immense power of persuasion.

Leos Janacek "The Cunning Little Vixen" - Premiere 02.10.2011 Komische Oper Berlin

"...Andreas Conrad who sung the schoolmaster (coeval cock) is standing for continuity in this house, even though he actually does not belong to the Ensemble, whose reliable bearer he was during the aera Kupfer: A great delight to see this remakable artist again."

Richard Strauss: "Salome" - Premiere 10.04.2011 Berlin

„...Andreas Conrad returned to his long-time “headquarters” and offered as Herod in a light blue suit the vocal most brilliant performance of the evening. Concise in the diction and with perfectly functioning voice, he never exaggerated the figure, put less on sneering sound, and instead won the part many lyrical–addicted nuances."

Orpheus Mai / Juni, Bernd Hoppe."

„...Tenor Andreas Conrad gives Herodes a parody, tenoral splendour"

Berliner Morgenpost -Volker Blech 12.04.2011

„...Andreas Conrad handles this situation best. His tremulous Herodes dominates the Ensemble vocally and dramatically"

Der Tagesspiegel 11.04.2011

Richard Strauss: "Salome" - Premiere 19.02.2011 Opera Monte Carlo

"…In contrast to this, the tetrarch couple presented itself in top form. Andreas Conrad who is getting engaged preferably as Mime, interpreted Herodes with piercingly diction and detailed phrases, an expression that withstands comparision with the best Interprets of this vocal spezialision. Despotical accents, like his desparate excuses on Salomes demand procure a role portrait which is coherent in all issues and therefore an impressing debut of a role, he will perform in April at the Komische Oper Berlin also."

Opernglas 04/2011 - A. Kutzschbach

"...Fantastic cast with Andreas Conrad, who succeeded a perfect embodiment of Herodes, unsurpassable in his interpretation of a contradictory king, recked from fear and desire, who in the end becomes weak to ridiculousness. A brilliant, even in devastating hit-off tenorvoice."

www.arts-spectacles.com

"...Andreas Conrad, exzellent as actor and singer, portraits Herodes with a clear voice which phaenomenal combines power with authority. He denies to caricate, inspires through the fierceness of charakterism in his role and through a remarkable mixture of vocal brilliance and peril."

Forumopera 04.03.2011

"...Andreas Conrad creates an outstanding Herodes, and sings the part terific with best diction and with a steely tenor, which is liable to Charactertenor. A highly gifted actor and singer and a born Mime for Wagner's Ring!"

Bedrich Smetana : "The Bartered Bride" - Premiere 04.12.2010 Opera National de Paris (Palais Garnier)

"...Everything seems to be too fairlly and "designed". But it gains tempo due to the magic that binds the audition, after Vasek enters the scene, admirable interpreted by Andreas Conrad, who sang in a way like Michel Roux played theatre."

(11.12. 2010, www.ARTISTIKREZO.COM, Edouard Brane)

„...on the “Applausometer” this is indisputable, it is the german Andreas Conrad, who "gets the palm“. He composes his personality with finesse und talent, a bit awkward, stuttering, naive and sentimental. His well created performance, is setting his well established voice and his enjoyable timbre quite apart."

(07.12. 2010, www.forumopera.com, Brigitte Cormier)

Alban Berg: "Lulu" - Premiere 01.08.2010 Salzburger Festspiele

.„...Andreas Conrad impresses as Marquis with glistening character-tenor"

(03.08. 2010, Kleine Zeitung, Ernst Naredi-Rainer)

Alban Berg: "Wozzeck" - Premiere 15.05.2010 Wiener Festwochen

.„...Andreas Conrad as Hauptmann satisfies from the beginning. His intonation is highly confident and he masters the preposterous notations with light and high tenor. Compared to this, the other actors were a bit poor."

(Internetforum KULTIVERSUM, Udo Badelt)

„…Wolfgang Bankl as Doctor and Anderas Conad as Captain are excellent. They draw vivid figures as they would be very welcome to be seen at the Theater an der Josefstadt.”

(16.05.2010, Die Presse, Wilhelm Sinkowicz)

„..Also the role of Captain with Andreas Conrad, the role of Doctor with Wolfgang Bankl are excellent casted and both support the ensemble strong-voiced.”

(Deutschlandfunk, „kultur heute“ 16.05.2010)

Richard Wagner: "Siegfried" - Pemiere on May 2nd, 2009 Washington National Opera

“…Tenor Andreas Conrad’s sneering, snivelling Mime was a sensation.”

(Washington Times, T.L. Ponick)

“...Zambello kept the action moving with vivid storytelling. Act 1, often long and discursive, flew by: Mime and the Wanderers riddle scene which can seem like a simple rehashing of plot points the audience knows well by this point in the cycle, was dramatically engaging. It helped, that Andreas Conrad as MIME and Alan Held as WANDERER were both outstanding.”

(Washington Post, Anne Midgette)

“...Mime, here the reedy tenor Andreas Conrad with an endearingly snide performance, appears as a ragtag blacksmith working at a makeshift forge next to a broken – down trailer on the outskirts of a forest where he has raised young Siegfried.”

(New York Times, Anthony Tommasini)

„...At such times, when he (Siegfried) became tired, it was difficult to distinguish between his voice and that of tenor Andreas Conrad (excellent in the role of MIME, the dwarf who raised Siegfried not out of love but out of greed).”

(AP Associated Press, Mike Silverman)

“…Andreas Conrad’s tenor singing was impressive throughout the first two acts.”

(Wagneropera.net, Jerry Floyd)

In April, when the MET presented the last Cykles of the Schenk – Ring, Robert Brubaker outshined at his return to the house, the “Siegfried”-Performance of the MET Debutant Christian Franz. In Washington, MIME also kept vocal predominance over Siegfried: Andreas Conrad sung the dwarf with traditional tenor–verve. A brilliant performance and a benefit compared to Robin Leggates uninspiring “Rhinegold – Mime”
