Thomas Allen baritone
Thomas Allen's Beckmesser was more than a stereotype character; his singing of the Trial Song was so fine that his pitiful nervous twitches were all the more poignant. By the end of the opera he had the audience's sympathy./  Review

Profile
Thomas Allen masters the role of Mozart's dark hero. As the Don, he is devil-may-care, elegant in his Italian phrasing and sinister. I think his Don is the most relaxed, when compared to Ruggero Raimondi's true despicable qualities or Samuel Ramey's similar style and lacks the heft and vigor or Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau's Don. He is doing a terrific job though and Allen is perhaps the greatest interpretation of the Don along with Rodney Gilfry's./ Review
Act I, Scene Three: Recititivo: 'Povera sventurata!' - Thomas Allen
Equally renowned on the concert platform, he appears in recital in the United Kingdom, throughout Europe, in Australia and America, and has appeared with the world's great orchestras and conductors. The greatest part of his repertoire has been extensively recorded.

Although Pamela Rosenberg has announced her departure from San Francisco Opera, she will be remembered for presenting unique productions of seldom heard operas. One of these is Leos Janacek's 1924 work, The Cunning Little Vixen, which was performed at San Francisco Opera on June 11th. . . The Forester was sung by Thomas Allen and it was he who held the various parts of the opera together with his dark timbered, robust voice. Allen was the lone figure who related to everything in the story./ Japonica review
