Janáček THE EXCURSIONS OF MR BROUCEK / grange park opera

​

“At the centre of the show is Peter Hoare’s virtuoso triumph in the sustained role of Brouček,”
Nicholas Kenyan, The Telegraph, 10 June 2022

​

"Peter Hoare’s Brouček is bigoted and insensitive. But, like Falstaff, the sheer resilience of this craven caitiff garners sympathy, and Hoare’s warm, firm line rises above Brouček’s dull pomposity."
Claire Seymour, The Stage, 10 June 2022

​

"Pountney’s time-travelling images of Nazis and the fall of the Berlin wall are neatly dovetailed here and the intellectually challenged Mr Brouček — the always excellent Peter Hoare — at last wins some sympathy."
Richard Fairman, Financial Times, 14 June 2022

​

"Peter Hoare, wearing pork pie hat and red bowtie, is gloriously coarse as the bourgeois landlord Brouček, a sort of Czech Everyman, whose main interests in life are food, beer, and sex."
Clare Colvin, ReviewsGate, June 2022

​

"The cast, too, shine bright. There can’t be many operas that offer so much fun for so many character-tenors at once. With Peter Hoare seemingly having a high old time in the title role, his colleagues include Mark Le Brocq, Andrew Shore and Adrian Thompson, multi-tasking to the manner born, as does the inimitable baritone Clive Bayley."
Jessica Duchen, The Arts Desk, 10 June 2022

"Fabuloso el intrigante Mortimer de Peter Hoare"
"Peter Hoare's intriguing Mortimer was fabulous"
Javier del Olivo, Platea Magazine, 27 February 2021

"El barón Mortimer, quien da vida el tenor Peter Hoare cumple con mérito su papel de conspirador equilibrando la tríada del poder que, conjuntamente con la reina Isabel, interpretada por la soprano Georgia Jarman, acaban dibujando el otro lado de la moneda de la jerarquía."

"Baron Mortimer, who plays tenor Peter Hoare, fulfils his role as a conspirator with merit, balancing the triad of power that, together with Queen Elizabeth, played by soprano Georgia Jarman, end up drawing the other side of the hierarchy currency."

Maria Sánchez, Bachtrack, 28 February 2021

​

"Y en papel del traidor asesino del rey y luego esposo de la reina –y aquí y en el momento de la primera escena en que se habla de aprestar una representación, pura ficción, claro, de ese adulterio y magnicidio, es difícil sustraerse a la evocación de Hamlet, “tradición”, no “plagio”- el tenor Peter Hoare, en parlandos siniestros que hacían perfecta justicia del ora vulgar, ora refinado lenguaje de Crimp, o en canto a veces sibilino, a veces violento, compuso perfectamente el cruel personaje."

"And in the role of the traitorous murderer of the king and then the queen's husband - and here and at the moment of the first scene in which there is talk of preparing a representation, pure fiction, of course, of that adultery and assassination, it is difficult to escape the evocation of Hamlet, "tradition", not "plagiarism" - the tenor Peter Hoare, in sinister talk that did perfect justice to the now vulgar, now refined language of Crimp, or in sometimes sibylline, sometimes violent song, perfectly composed the cruel character."
José Luis Vidal, Scherzo, 1 March 2021
 

britten NOCTURNE / royal liverpool philharmonic orchestra

​

“The centrepiece was a superb performance of Benjamin Britten’s Nocturne. ... One could only marvel at Britten’s word-setting, and at Peter Hoare’s beautiful rendition. His enunciation of the verse was exemplary. I felt as if such lines as “It was a climate where, they say,/ The night is more beloved than day” could not be expressed in any other way. I was pleased that that song (words by Coleridge) was more magical and less sinister than in some performances. A “lovely boy” picking fruit in the moonlight wearing nothing but a “twine of leaves” can seem very creepy indeed. Here the harp helped create a sparkling moonlight scene. 
Nocturne is not all serious, however. The noises of the night in Midnight’s Bell, a setting of Middleton, had me smiling broadly under my mask, especially the horn’s evocation of bird and animal sounds and Peter Hoare’s mimicking of the cat mewing. Another highlight was Hoare’s negotiating of Keats’ Sleep and Poetry with elaborate, cheerful contributions from flute and clarinet. .”
Peter Connors, Bachtrack, 17th December 2020

​

Berg WOZZECK / Greek National Opera

​

“Peter Hoare is delightfully hysterical.”
James Imam, Financial Times, 20th January 2020
 

​

Birtwistle THE MASK OF ORPHEUS / English National Opera

​

“In the insanely demanding title-role, a brave and accomplished performance by a scantily clad Peter Hoare deserves prizes.”
Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, 19th October 2019

​

“Huge respect to the heroic performers, especially Peter Hoare as Orpheus.”
Richard Morrison, The Times, 21st October 2019

​

“Peter Hoare’s formidable account, often half-naked or draped in a short red robe and looking uncannily like Eddie Izzard or a grizzled Gary Glitter, deserves an Oscar.”
Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian, 26th October 2019

​

“Peter Hoare is brilliant, as always, as Orpheus the Man.”
Richard Fairman, Financial Times, 21st October 2019
 

​

Britten BILLY BUDD / Den Norske Opera, Oslo

​

“The main roles were consistently well performed, but Peter Hoare probably played the most important in the role of the old Captain Vere at the old folks home, especially at the end of the performance. He shaped the melodies so beautifully, that it could just as well have been high-romantic music, and I stopped reading the text because the diction was so clear.”
Magnus Andersson, Klassekampen Musikkmagasinet, 4th February 2019
 

​

Benjamin LESSONS IN LOVE & VIOLENCE / Royal Opera House, Covent Garden

​

“Even as a military adviser, Mortimer (the bright-voiced tenor Peter Hoare), argues that love — any love — is “poison” to both the human body and the body politic.”
Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times, 11th May 2018

​

“Peter Hoare (is) utterly compelling as Mortimer.”
Warwick Thompson, Metro, 11th May 2018

​

“Peter Hoare’s Mortimer – wild-eyed but horribly sane in his actions, spinning even the most grotesque logic into plausible, lovely phrases.”
Alexandra Coghlan, The Arts Desk, 11th May 2018
 

​

Janáček JENŮFA / Grange Park Opera at West Horsley Place

​

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Jenůfa’s hapless suitors Laca and Steva as strongly or sharply defined as they are by Peter Hoare and Nicky Spence. Hoare’s Laca movingly portrays low self-esteem suddenly finding inner strength, […] Both these excellent tenors sing at the top of their game.”
Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph, 21 June 2017

​

“Peter Hoare (Laca) makes this fiendishly high role sound easy, his bright timbre well suited. Hoare is pent with energy, liable to explode at any moment in this volcanic portrayal.”
Louise Lewis, British Theatre Guide 14, June 2017

​

Ligeti LE GRAND MACABRE / London Symphony Orchestra
 

“A uniformly strong cast included especially fine contributions from Peter Hoare as the inebriated Piet the Pot”
Barry Millington, Evening Standard Jan 2017
 

​

Janáček JENŮFA / English National Opera

“Peter Hoare is the intense Laca, his voice dark and strong, the man’s bitterness, desire and remorse beautifully realised.”
Tim Ashley, The Guardian, June 2016

​

“The real strength of the cast, though, is in its pair of tenors, Peter Hoare giving another of his gripping character portrayals as Laca…”
Richard Fairman, Financial Times, June 2016
 

​

Julian Anderson THEBANS / English National Opera

​

Peter Hoare was outstanding as the despotic Creon, doomed by his own inflexibility. Hoare commands the whole of proceedings both with gesture and stage movement with a strong, flexible tenor voice”
David Karlin, Bachtrack, May 2014
 

​

Berg WOZZECK / Metropolitan Opera

​

“Peter Hoare has long been an outstanding Captain, not unknown to New York audiences after Esa-Pekka Salonen’s devastating performance with the Philharmonia at Lincoln Center eighteen months ago. Snivelling, abrasive, fundamentally decrepit and yet earnestly devoted to a bankrupt moral order, Hoare’s … tenor suits this role superbly, and his contortions onstage thoroughly enacted the Captain’s inherent hypocrisy.”
David Allen, Bachtrack, March 2014
