(Tenors)
Press:
***** The Times Oct 30 2006
“Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts’s massive performance in the title role is beyond praise”

The Daily Telegraph Oct 30 2006
“Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts sings and acts as if his life – and not just his career – depends on it”
|

***** The Independent Nov 1 2006
“Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts reveals a tenor voice as delicate and varied in nuance as the night sky in which Grimes finds solace. The range of colour Lloyd-Roberts displays is as impressive for its restraint as for its expressiveness. Awkwardly inarticulate, this Grimes is a pitiable character, a haunted man, marvellously sung and movingly characterised”

***** The Guardian Oct 28 2006
“..a titanic central performance by Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts. A burly figure with a supple, lyrical voice, Lloyd-Roberts has a lightness of tone that suggests Grimes’s tragedy is that he remains an undeveloped child within a brute of a body”

The Sunday Times Nov 5 2006
“More than in any other recent production, Grimes’s relationship with Ellen is lovingly expressed. Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts’s Grimes may be a misfit, but he is a man with a conscience and a poetic sense of his own tragedy.”

***** The Sunday Telegraph Nov 5 2006
“Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts….is utterly convincing. Less beefy but brighter in tone than some, he is strong in portraying the mental disintegration of the strange fisherman, an outsider in his own society.”
|

*****The Financial Times Nov 7 2006
“…..the year’s best new opera production in the UK……Jeffrey Lloyd-Roberts’s shaven-headed bear of a Grimes impresses for his sheer honesty.”
