FAUST with VANCOUVER OPERA |
Newfoundland tenor David Pomeroy, in the title role, flaunts the vocal chops that have landed him star-billing in Europe, Asia and Latin America. - Vancouver Observer |
Tenor David Pomeroy’s wide range of expression, heard to such good effect in last year’s Peter Grimes, gave a compelling portrait of Gounod’s antihero. From the existential despair of ‘Rien... en vain j’interroge’ to the tenderness of ‘Salut, demeure chaste et pure,’ Pomeroy appeared completely absorbed in Faust’s turbulent and rapidly-changing psychological states... his sense of vocal line and sensitive control of dynamic nuance made for a most enjoyable performance. - Vancouver Classical Music |
Canadian tenor David Pomeroy (who is no newcomer and has sung the title role of Faust multiple times before) disappears into the role seamlessly and his voice carries the part well especially in the higher register. - Review Vancouver |

Verdi's REQUIEM with WINNIPEG SYMPHONY |
Any listener may easily be forgiven thinking they had died and gone to heaven hearing Newfoundland native Pomeroy perform famous tenor solo Ingemisco. The deeply expressive singer often appearing on the Manitoba Opera stage imbues all his performances with noble compassion, pouring his heart and soul into this lyrical showstopper, including buttery-smooth phrasing and ringing top notes that enthralled. - Winnipeg Free Press |

PAUL IN NEW PRODUCTION OF DIE TOTE STADT |
Canadian tenor David Pomeroy shines from beginning to end, above and through the orchestra, expressing the passion of the world in its electrifying, heroic and fleshy highs. At the same time, he releases a touching vulnerability, making pianissimi almost falsetto in his duet with the deceased Marie, not to mention its intelligible German diction and an economy in dramatism... - Ôlyrix |
Great main couple, finally, with David Pomeroy, Paul with impressive bravery and endurance... - Opéra Magazine |
Canadian tenor David Pomeroy (Paul) and South African soprano Johanni Van Oostrum (Marietta) are sensational, dramatic engagement as well as vocal ease, even in the vocal extremisms required by the intense writing of Korngold... Even the impossible aria in Act III does not pose any difficulty to him. He has something darker and more fatal still, his impulses are inexhaustible, and a very touching melancholy colors with vulnerability all that is inside. He also manages to sing piano the whole end of the book, and we can only surrender to his performance! - Classique News |

ROLE DEBUT AS PETER GRIMES |
In the title role, tenor David Pomeroy commanded an exceptionally wide expressive range, from the hushed mysticism of 'Now the great Bear and Pleiades' and the broad lyricism of 'What harbour shelters peace' to the searing intensity of his concluding mad scene., 'To hell with all your mercy.' However loud or soft his delivery, Pomeroy's voice was consistently full yet controlled, effortlessly soaring above the orchestra without a hint of strain. - Vancouver Classical Music |

ROLE DEBUT AS RADAMÈS |
David Pomeroy, a Canadian tenor, made his Seattle Opera debut as Radames. His voice had an earnest resplendent quality that actually made my eyes widen as he began his opening aria. It practically shone in the air as he captured the fervor of passionate Radames. - The Daily UW |

PINKERTON WITH MANITOBA OPERA |
... his depiction of [Pinkerton] was beautifully shaped, both dramatically and especially vocally. Pomeroy is one of the top tenors around, a true singing actor like all the performers onstage tonight, possessing a voice of exquisite beauty and power. - Schmopera |
acclaimed Canadian lyric tenor David Pomeroy created a strapping, 19-year old Pinkerton... Pomeroy set sail on his own harrowing narrative arc with port stops along the way, including sweetly tender love duet with this new bride, “Viene la sera,” until becoming unmoored and wracked with remorse during Act III’s “Addio fiorito asil” sung with dramatic intensity. - Opera Today |

TANNHÄUSER IN NEW PRODUCTION WITH OPERA KöLN |
Oper Köln 2017-18 Review – Tannhäuser: Pomeroy Shines in Production...
Pomeroy was exemplary... the tenor sounded in full voice throughout and particularly so in this final act. He was simply superb in portraying the pain and torture inside the title character. - Operawire
Above all David Pomeroy as Tannhäuser succeeds astonishingly well in his formidably rehearsed role debut... he finds the balance between power ("Mercy to you!") and filigree voice leading within the killer role. - Die Deutsche Buene |
David Pomeroy (Tannhäuser) is a heroic tenor as he is in the book: his voluminous tenor voice is very clear in the intonation... In the heights he succeeds especially in the aria 'Stets soll nur dir mein lied ertönen,' gracefully let his tenor swell into the forte. - Opera Point |
