DESCRIPTION:
Glenn Seven Allen performs as Peter Quint in Benjamin Britten's THE TURN OF THE SCREW. Variation XII/Scene 5 "Quint" -- Opera Moderne
"Glenn Seven Allen was a mesmerizing Quint, singing with agility and a sweetness that grew appropriately cloying or menacing."
- New York Times
"Peter Quint is a role difficult to imagine in any voice but that of Peter Pears at his most seductively weird. Glenn Seven Allen did not try to match this, but gave us a fierce, disordered madness, demonstrated by controlled outbursts and long, serpentine chromatic runs."
- Parterre.com
"Tenor Glenn Seven Allen lent his fine tenor to the role of Peter Quint and was absolutely chilling in his interpretation."
- Vocedimeche (blog)
"The advantage of having real ghosts written into Britten's opera is that Peter Quint becomes a tenor part, sung here by the promising singer Glenn Seven Allen...Mr. Allen is a potent singer with a swagger that made Quint an appealing rogue."
