Das Opernmagazin<\/a> by Phillip Richter<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Das Rheingold<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

…Mit langem Bart und wilder Haarespracht weckte dieser als kurzfristiger Einspringer auch ohne Kost\u00fcm \u2014 von der Seitenb\u00fchne mit Partitur singend \u2014hinl\u00e4ngliche Assoziationen an den G\u00f6ttervater Wotan. Mayer ging mit runder, wohlklingender Bariton-Stimme und exemplarischer Diktion in seiner Partie vollends auf. Insbesondere das Deklamatorische im Zwiegespr\u00e4ch zu Fricka geriet ihm besonders stark…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Opera Critic<\/a> by Tony Cooper<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Die Walk\u00fcre<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

…Ricarda Merbeth, as Br\u00fcnnhilde and Wotan (this time sung by Thomas J. Mayer on stage) performed brilliantly the scene of their parting and final farewell in the last act of the opera. A heart-wrenching moment, both singers put everything they had into this dramatic scene and the electricity between them was nothing but high voltage, coupled with extraordinary and powerful playing coming from the pit with Christian Thielemann in charge. It was exciting stuff down to the very last bar.<\/span>..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Opernmagazin <\/a>by Phillip Richter<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
Siegfried<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

…Hier \u00fcberzeugte der Bass-Bariton als S\u00e4ngerdarsteller mit Leib und Seele auf ganzer Linie. Er legte all die Resignation und Bangnis eines gescheiterten Wotan-Wanderers in seine rau-herbe, zugleich eindringliche und tragende Stimme und brachte so das Publikum zum Mitfiebern. Innerlich bebend versuchte TJ Mayer als Wanderer die Erda nochmal zu bezwingen, dass sie ihm doch kundtun wolle \u201ewie zu hemmen ein rollendes Rad\u201c..<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Das Rheingold & Die Walk\u00fcre<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

…Seit dem ph\u00e4nomenalen John Tomlinson habe ich keinen Wotan mehr geh\u00f6rt, der vergleichbar nicht nur mit profunder Stimme, Agilit\u00e4t und exquisiter Textverst\u00e4ndlichkeit besticht, sondern auch kraft seines starken darstellerischen Potenzials, das Mayer allerdings erst in der Walk\u00fcre \u00a0einbringen konnte. Vermutlich mangels\u00a0 Zeit f\u00fcr eine Stellprobe sang er\u00a0 die Partie im Rheingold vom Rand, \u00a0darstellerisch vertreten vom Spielleiter des Abends.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mayer ist eine Sensation! Dies auch deshalb, weil er die \u00a0Emotionen, Zwiesp\u00e4lte und Wesensz\u00fcge seiner Figur so \u00fcberzeugend herausstellt. Wenn ihn Fricka terrorisiert, penetrant darauf dringt, er m\u00fcsse die inzestu\u00f6se Beziehung seiner Zwillingskinder vernichten, ist er der desillusionierte Gebrochene und unter seinen Zw\u00e4ngen Leidende, der verzweifelt nachgibt, \u00a0vor dem moralischen Eifer seiner G\u00f6ttergattin kapituliert…<\/em><\/p>\n
