Reviews





"Mahon has a fine voice, naturally rich, easy in depth."
-Globe and Mail

"Bass Andrew Mahon is an attractive singer...he looked the part and displayed suitable charisma."
-Opera Canada

"Baritone Andrew Mahon rounded out the quartet, delivering dramatic and incisive accounts of his arias, all of which showed excellent vocal ability and good style."
-Calgary Herald

"For your reviewer, the high point of the evening was the 'Libera me' with its baritone solo, performed to perfection by Andrew Mahon. His expressive legato and dramatic sensitivity were most impressive."
-Mid-Somerset Newspapers

"Canadian bass-baritone Andrew Mahon was a quite outstanding Elijah. In the solo recitative that begins the work he immediately imposed a powerful and authoritative personality on the evening and this sense of purpose was evident in the striking challenges and defiance he offered as the work proceeded."
-Westmorland Gazette
