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 |
