Gounod Faust
"With the English tenor Luke Sinclair, the State Theater can congratulate itself on a fabulous new member of the ensemble. Sinclair impressed as an excellent Faust with a beautiful timbre, focused voice guidance, tenoral shine with a brilliant high notes and good French diction. His facial expressions reflected the emotions and nuances of expression with great presence. He lived the figure in every nuance. Excellent is his aria “Salut! Demeure chaste et pure"
Elisabeth Aumiller - PNP (German)
"In the title role, as Faust, the young English tenor Luke Sinclair conquered the audience with an unpretentious appearance, great musicality, round baritonal middle range and uninterrupted, subtly metallic and indeed radiant heights."

"Luke Sinclair as the beautiful and baritonally timbred title hero can be heard with soft lyricism, fine phrasing and effortless highs."
Dr. Helmut Christian Mayer - Opera Online (German)
Weber Der Freischütz
"Luke Sinclair impresses as Max with a powerful tenor voice that shines with expressiveness and passion, especially in the dramatic heights. His stage presence makes his Max seem authentic and complex - a hunter who is torn between love and doubt. Sinclair's interpretation makes the character's desperation palpable and gives the role a gripping depth."
Marcus Haimerl - ioco.de (German)
"Luke Sinclair as the likeable, insecure Max, has an excellent command of German, and penetrates with his fundamentally lyrical tenor to astonishing heroic emphasis (“Lebt kein Gott?”).."
Gottfried Franz Kasparek - Drehpunktkultur (German)
"Luke Sinclair as Max can do both - spin lyrically delicate phrases and summon deep dramatic power from his tenor....his acting is a force to be reckoned with"
Kirsten Benekam - PNP.de (German)
Bizet Carmen
"Luke Sinclair as Don José was one of the best in that role I've ever heard. One would wish for a tenor like that at the Vienna State Opera: clear tenor, effortless in the high notes, soft in the low notes. And he was handsome too, playing the injured lover with an abandon reminiscent of the intensity of Rolando Villazon. It was the first time for me that the role of Don José outshone that of Carmen."
Dr. Salvia Matras - www.silviamatras-reisen.at (German)
"Luke Sinclair as Don José scores with a beautiful Tenor voice, secure in all heights"
Dr. Helmut Christian Mayer - Opera Online

"As the Italian Tenor, Luke Sinclair sang with poise and beauty of tone."

Florian Oberhummer - Salzburger Nachrichten (German)

Elisabeth Pichler - Dorfzeitung (German)

"Luke Sinclair made the most of the singer's short cameo role in the first act with his strong voice"
Dr. Daniel Floyd - Das Opernmagazin (German)

Dr. Helmut Christian Mayer - Opera Online (German)
Mozart Lucio Silla
"Luke Sinclair’s performance in the title role was fundamental to this dramatic success. Vocally strong and agile, his stage portrayal helped fill in many of the gaps.....Sinclair’s Silla offered psychological depth in instability, whilst maintaining something quite other to the external world."

Jorn Florian Fuchs - Deutschlandfunk.de (German)
