Together, Terfel and his Susanna, Cecilia Bartoli, generated matchless excitement onstage. They lived every second of their roles, with the appearance of complete spontaneity, and audiences had every right to think that they might be in for a new golden era of productions specially built around the two stars. [Figaro at the Met, 1998]
Terfel's performance as Scarpia was astonishingly real: all of the character's perversion came through, but he also generated real heat onstage. [Tosca at the Met, 2010]
. . . clear yet unaffected diction . . . Terfel and the ever-attentive Malcolm Martineau demonstrate that it's sometimes desirable to have to strain to hear something. [The Vagabond]
