BENJAMIN SIEVERDING
Masetto and Il Commendatore, Don Giovanni
Skylark Opera Theatre
"Bass Benjamin Sieverding...worked an impressive double shift as the peasant bridegroom Masetto and the murdered Commendatore who makes a devastating reappearance as Giovanni's nemesis."
StarTribune
"But a voice at the opposite end of the register also made a strong impression: Benjamin Sieverding has a booming bass that made the jealous bridegroom Masetto almost as compelling as the statue come to life who brings things to a close with a creepy condemnation by flashlight."
Pioneer Press
"...doubling as the powerless peasant Masetto and the Commendatore, who returns as an implacable statue to seal Giovanni’s doom, Benjamin Sieverding is spectacular, gliding across the floor like stone on wheels, and his big, rich bass voice brings chills. "

Second Infirmary Patient, Oscar (premiere)
Santa Fe Opera
"...in the best scene in the opera, David Blalock and Benjamin Sieverding as patients in the prison infirmary, whose singing, with Daniels, of a musical-hall song happily recalled Kurt Weill."
Opera News
"One of the most effective scenes in the opera is an encounter in the second act that takes place in the prison infirmary. [...] Tenor David Blalock and bass Benjamin Sieverding are both marvelous in this touching scene."
Theater Jones
"Infirmary patients David Blalock and Benjamin Sieverding lent heart-choking realism to their poignantly sung cameos."
