STARS SHINE AT OPERA'S 50TH BIRTHDAY PARTY |
There were two showstoppers — literally. Newfoundland-based tenor David Pomeroy brought the house down with his scorched earth performance of Puccini’s Nessun dorma, just as he did during Manitoba Opera’s gala concert in April 2022." - Winnipeg Free Press |

TOSCA WITH EDMONTON OPERA |
The night, however, belonged to tenor David Pomeroy as the painter Mario Cavaradossi. Pomeroy has a voice that fills this hall with vibrancy and life — even when he is being tortured off stage. Edmonton Opera audiences celebrated him as Prince Calaf in the 2017 performance of Turandot and were treated again to a masterful nuanced performance in Tosca. His on-stage chemistry with Slack is authentic while his singing is simply world-class. His rendition of the famous aria “E lucevan le stelle”, which he sings as he awaits his execution, was a true highlight on this night. With such ease and fullness in his voice, especially in its higher register, Pomeroy thrills the audience with a commanding performance." - Schmopera |

TENOR FORGED IN A METAL FIRE |
Described by the New York Times as a “powerful agile tenor… heartfelt” with Germany’s Das Opernmagazin declaring, “this is how a god sings!” Pomeroy is the only opera singer from NL to have established an international career performing on five continents. He marked his Metropolitan Opera debut in 2009 in the title role of Les Contes d’Hoffman, with other Met performances including the title role in Faust, and Roméo in Roméo et Juliette under the batons of Placido Domingo and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.".- Winnipeg Free Press |

ROLE DEBUT AS BACCHUS WITH OPER STUTTGART |
As a guest in the role of Bacchus, the tenor David Pomeroy was convincing. His final appearance with Ariadne is extremely glamorous. That is how a god sings! ... his high notes are bright and the finale a dream. The orchestra revel in ecstasy." |

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 |
"With Ben Heppner now in retirement, Pomeroy is the closest we now have in Canada to a heldentenor, the type of voice needed for this role. This is a role that suits Pomeroy’s voice excellently, with its bright, forward placement of the tone and a clarity that cuts through the heavy orchestration. While his style of singing is fundamentally Germanic, there is a welcome Italianate lyricism present in the sound as well. Managing the high-lying part without evident strain, and singing with the needed strength, Pomeroy made a strong impression, not only in the singing but in the well worked-out dramatic characterization." - Calgary Herald
Canadian tenor David Pomeroy (Paul) is 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 |
Great main couple, finally, with David Pomeroy, Paul with impressive bravery and endurance... - Opéra Magazine |
