PHILADELPHIA, THE TALES OF HOFFMANN (Il Conte D'Hoffmann)

"But the evening belonged to bass Scott Conner, who was a menacing Lindorf, Copéllius, Dappertutto and Dr. Miracle with a masterful voice—pitch perfect, resonant, and robust.” - by Gale Martin

 

"Scott Conner was magnetic as Hoffman's antagonists, Lindorf, Coppélius, Dr. Miracle and Dapertutto.” - Steve Cohen, broadstreetreview

"As the comic servant Nerbulone, the bass Scott Conner was brilliant both vocally and dramatically." - theidlewoman.net

 

ZURICH OPERA, ORLANDO

​

PHILADELPHIA, DON GIOVANNI

"Scott Conner just owns Don Giovanni’s lustful swagger and as offensive as that can be to contemporary audiences, his basso is big, assured and as sublimely lithe as Mozart’s music.”

- Alternatetakes2wordpress

 

"And as the Don, Scott Conner was a vivid actor with a solid bass voice.”

- Steven Cohen thebroadstreetreview

​

AIX EN PROVENCE, ROSSINI RECITAL:

"Scott Conner… what a beautiful voice and great musicality!  He is also an accomplished actor, both in voice and body language. His rendition of the different accents in the famous "Medaglie incomparabile" aria brought the house down. The parts where Don Profondo mocks the English, the French, the Germans, the Russians, etc., were so well done by Scott that we had the impression that he was singing in English, French, German, and Russian instead of Italian.  His acting range is very good too, since he interpreted arias that go from tragic to comedic to solemn... he acted the parts as if he was in the full operas.”  - Luiz Gazzola

 

SAN FRANCISCO OPERA, TOSCA

"As the escaped prisoner Cesare Angelotti, bass Scott Conner sang with penetrating tone, and one could see this zealot’s passions in his burning eyes.” - Mercury News by Richard Scheinin

 

ZURICH OPERA, IL VIAGGIO A REIMS

"Don Profundo’s (Scott Conner) solo commentary on the foreign hotel guests, sung in each of their pronounced accents brought down the house.”  - by Sarah Batschelet

LILLE, LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR

"Quant à Scott Conner, son Raimondo doit beaucoup, tant par la tenue que le grain d’un instrument qui mûrira encore, à Samuel Ramey.  

"As for Scott Conner, his Raimondo owes much to Samuel Ramey - both for the performance and the grain of an instrument that will continue to mature."  by Mehdi Mahdavi - Diapason

 

CLEVELAND OPERA, DON GIOVANNI:

"As in the opera’s original Prague and Vienna productions, bass Scott Conner doubles as Masetto and the Commendatore, lavishing both with sonorous command. (he’s a future Giovanni/Leporello.)" - by Donald Rosenberg, the Plain Dealer 

 

ZURICH OPERA, LES PÊCHEURS DE PERLES

"O baixo Norte Americano Scott Conner foi um Nourabad de voz segura e bem audível a não destoar dor restantes solistas...."

BAYERISCHE STAATSOPER MUNICH, UN BALLO IN MASCHERA

"Christian van Horn and Scott Conner, as the two conspirators, also portrayed their characters with great vocal precision and effectiveness.”-  Marina Romani
