Reviews
Here are a selection of reviews from more recent productions which I have performed in. For further reviews for each production, please visit Connaught Artists Website.
Don Giovanni: “Dalla sua pace is retained. Turner’s elegant style and honeyed tone in this aria is perfectly complemented by swooning phrases from the strings and winds of the Orchestra of Opera North.” Opera Britannia, September 2012
Orontea: “Christopher Turner gave one of the strongest dramatic performances of the evening as the soldier Tibrino, his tenor always generous with warm energy and his Italian beautifully crisp, especially in Tibrino’s scathing set piece aria which bewails women’s use of makeup.” backtrack, December 2015

I Capuleti e i Montecchi: “As Tebaldo, Christopher Turner revealed a powerful yet supple tenor voice and demonstrated excellent phrasing.” MusicOMH, March 2014
“Christopher Turner as the waiter Augusto impressed in the way he took the small role and made it memorable without pulling focus from the principals.” planethugill.com, November 2015

Grotto di Trofonio: "Among one of Bampton’s strongest-ever casts, I particularly liked the gloriously rich tenor voice of Christopher Turner" Spectator July 2015
Macbeth: “Meanwhile, an impassioned Macduff from Christopher Turner sees his heartrending aria on the death of his family become a standout highlight of the evening, encouraging warm applause from a delighted audience.” Bachtrack, June 2016

Philemon e Baucis: "Christopher Turner – a natural buffo performer, possessed with an authoritative tenor – gave a marvellously engaging turn as the capricious god, whose anger is merely a front for his basically sunny nature. Turner’s splendidly articulated recitative established the god’s character from the outset and his confident stage presence mark him out as a natural singer/actor" Seen and Heard July 2016
Berenice: “The real high points, though, came from Christopher Turner’s Fabio, wonderfully cynical in his observations on the vagaries of desire……” Guardian, March 2016
