East Neuk Festival, 2010
'So was the young Irish tenor Robin Tritschler, whose appearances in shared programmes in Crail with soprano Katherine Broderick and pianist Malcolm Martineau were sensational.'
The Scotsman, July 6, 2010
'...with Tritschler's plangent timbre and innate feeling probing the aching rapture and disillusion of Schumann's Dichterliebe. Perceptive and musically faultless, it was a highlight not just of the festival but of the whole summer.'
Independent on Sunday, July 11, 2010
Aldeburgh Festival, 2010
'In three song cycles with guitar (played by James Boyd), the tenor Robin Tritschler proved himself more worthy of this Aldeburgh spotlight. He brought wit and lyricism to Walton's Anon in Love, with its inventive guitar writing, and found the sweetness of tone required for the highest lines of Britten's Songs from the Chinese. Ranging from quiet reminiscence to war cries,Tritschler also commanded Tippett's Songs for Achilles.'
Sunday Telegraph, July 4, 2010
Nantes Opera/ Makropoulos Case 2010
'Robin Tritschler makes a winningly boyish Janek.'
Financial Times, June 1, 2010
Welsh National Opera/ Die Entführung 2010
'Robin Tritchler’s Belmonte is a foppish Sebastian Flyte character, complete with teddy bear and ukulele. His opening aria was mellifluous and haunting, and throughout the opera his cadenzas showed flair and control within his gentle tenor.'
Opera Brittania, February 16, 2010
'Robin Tritschler sang Belmonte's arias with clean tone and true pitch, phrasing them with the easy grace that is their charm.'
Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, February 15, 2010
Messiah: Our Lady's Choral Society December 2009
'Robin Tritschler... was... communicative with the words, and persuasive in musical rhetoric.'
Irish Times, December 24, 2012
Britten Song Cycles, Blythburgh Church, Aldeburgh Festival - June 2009
The star of the evening was Robin Tritschler, who spun lyrical lines with stylish ease.
Irish Times- Jul 14, 2009
Tenor Robin Tritschler was the decisive star of the third of the festival's concerts of Britten's Song Cycles. Accompanied by Malcolm Martineau, his fresh, flexible sound and thoughtful characterisation made the sour vicar, humble choirmaster, wondering baby and handcuffed criminal of Britten's Thomas Hardy settings, Winter Words, spring to life.
Independent on Sunday/ Anna Picard- July 5, 2009
Welsh National Opera/ L'elisir d'amore 2009
The singing is knock-out, not least from Robin Tritschler as Nemorino standing in for the indisposed Wynne Evans. His tenor voice stole the show for me, notably with his aria, Una Furtive Lagrima.
