"Star of the evening was Mark Milhofer as Almaviva. Milhofer is a Rossini tenor par excellence.
A lottery win for the Reisopera."
Opera Magazine
"Mark Milhofer’s professionalism knows no limits. He lived the role, rather than acting it. The
Madwoman’s timbres are varied and wide and it goes without saying they were always pitch perfect
with immaculate diction in his delivery."
Seen and Heard
"Mark Milhofer’s gently reedy tenor and naturally communicative stage presence, however, arguably made Arnalta’s Act 3 scene the highpoint of the evening."
Bachtrack
"The tenor Mark Milhofer was no less impressive in the role of the shepherd Eumete. His use of the voice to characterize the role was wonderful. Every line was crafted with such detail; subtle dynamic inflections, emphases, and colorful accents were applied intelligently to create a living character with real depth."
Operawire
"Tenor Mark Milhofer has already managed to impress as Acis: he has a soft, but beautiful, friendly sound. That impression explodes in his aria 'Love in Her Eyes Sits Playing': so high, so soft, beautiful in long vibratoless notes and very subtle in lengthening."
NCR Media
"Mark Milhofer war kurzfristig für den erkrankten Rolando Villazón als Alessandro eingesprungen. Mark Milhofer legt als Alexander der Große einen Herrscher hin, dem man huldigen muss: Machtvoll, bei großer Herzensgüte, ist dieser Tenor, dabei wendig in allen Lagen. Schlank und klangfarbenreich zieht er stimmliche Triumphbögen in den Raum."
Drehpunkt Kultur
"Eumée is the always excellent Mark Milhofer (...) To his always impeccable vocality, he adds a manner of light grace, humor, charm, casualness. "
ForumOpera.com
"We noticed with happiness the performance of the English tenor Mark Milhofer (Eumée) whose grain of voice loaded with harmonics is particularly touching and of unspeakable beauty. In addition to this wonderful timbre, the tenor has an impeccable diction of the Italian language and a keen sense of Monteverdian phrasing."
ResMusica
"The antagonist Mortimer, who is portrayed in this performance as a staid politician and sober power-hungry, finds the ideal embodiment in the English tenor Mark Milhofer. Here you experience a calculating man driven by falsehood. The vocal performance and the intense playing are also great here."
