News | Alexander Sprague, Ángeles Blancas Gulin
"Entering from the staircase, with all the pomposity of a drag queen diva, the fur-coated, bewigged Sprague demonstrates a theatrical exuberance which is matched by his engaging, flexible tenor. Clean of tone and varied of colour, Sprague is an intelligent performer, and proved highly alert to the musical and dramatic comedy."
Opera Today
"But the one truly bright spot was Alexander Sprague in the title-role. He sang the music absolutely beautifully, with clean, sweet tone and crystalline projection."
The Telegraph
"There was a real confidence on the part of the performers. Of particular note was tenor Alexander Sprague, singing Ferrando. He was sprightly, funny, and has a voice which projected unstrained purity."
The Arts Desk
"Alexander Sprague, as Acis, had plenty of spring and slice in his pleasing tenor, perfect for this confident charmer dressed in glitter-red sneakers and cool shades who was prone to showing off his press-up prowess mid-aria"
Opera Today
"In the relatively small part of Octavius, Alexander Sprague made a strong impression. He possesses an appealing tenor, which he used with authority to voice his ambitions and establish his ruthless character in the opera’s final words."
