“Excellent. Garland showed an unexpected strength in the lower register as well as a strong top, and he was also equal to the more extreme demands of Orff’s music. A fine actor, he was especially amusing in Carmina Burana. — Joe Law, Opera News

 

“The performance featured a committed, talented cast. Andrew Garland’s Papageno was, in many ways, the heart of the performance; his comic energy and suavity made him a clear standout. He had the audience in the palm of his hand. His counterpart Papagena was a flirtatious Sara Heaton, and the two of them dazzled in their effervescent duet at the end of the opera.”  —Angelo Mao, Opera News
