“The casting of the title role is pivotal in any Don Giovanni production. Elliot Madore meets the challenge with a riveting portrayal, buttressed by strong vocalism. Conniving and slightly mad, this Don craved seduction. Even when he was not singing, he seized attention, so potent was Madore’s theatricality. His sizable baritone could sound robust in the Champagne aria or mellifluous in a softly gentle “Deh vieni la finestra.” This Don was a formidable adversary, almost frightening in his refusal to repent in defiance of the abyss that awaited him.” - Lawrence Budmen

Read More“A voice familiar from the orchestra’s 2016 production of “Pelleas et Melisande,” the baritone brought to “South Pacific” a debonair presence and rich, honeyed instrument. When he sang “Some Enchanted Evening" and “This Nearly Was Mine,” one sensed not only the beauty of the tunes but also a certain electricity in the air.” - Zachary Lewis
Read More“Figaro, with internationally renowned Canadian baritone Elliot Madore’s dazzling Manitoba Opera debut as the tall, dark and strapping barber exuding conviction and swaggering ease every time he took the stage, his booming vocals lling the hall and matched only by his kilowatt smile. He nearly stopped the show with his opening-act entrance aria, Largo al Factotum, receiving prolonged applause with cries of bravo for his performance delivered with the energy of a charging toro in a Spanish bull ring, which only gathered momentum until his final, enthralling burst of tongue-twisting patter spat out with razor-sharp precision.” - Holly Harris
