Reviews

Baron Ochs, Minneapolis
"...should also be assured that they might never experience a better portrayal of the blusterous, boorish Baron Ochs than that given by bass Manfred Hemm. He brought welcome physicality to a character as pompous as he is lecherous, his voice full of power throughout his ample register"
Pioneer Press, July 2011

Baron Ochs, Sydney
"Manfred Hemm gave an outstanding performance, his burnished, agile singing and energetic characterisation portraying Ochs's crass insensitivity"
The Australian, Oct 2010

"Manfred Hemm sang the part of the obnoxious aristocrat Baron Ochs of Lerchenau with magnificently rounded tonal strength and aptly overbearing confidence"
The Sydney Morning Herald

"...but there was more, in Manfred Hemm's sumptuously-delivered Baron Ochs: not a boor or buffoon, but decidedly dangerous."
Opera, February 2011

Emma,Wien
"Manfred Hemm verströmte als Olfredo seinen warmen, wohlklingenden basso profondo"
Opernglas, 2011
