South Florida Classical Review

Neil Nelson brought dignity and a solid bass-baritone to the Speaker’s solemn proclamations.

South Florida Classical Review

"Neil Nelson’s rotund bass and sly characterization of the Sacristan was a scene stealer."

South Florida Classical Review

"Neil Nelson’s Dark Angel boomed through the house in powerful, molten bass tones."

South Florida Classical Review

"This has been a strong season for Neil Nelson. The bass-baritone’s scene stealing appearances as Monterone in FGO’s Rigoletto and the voice of sleep in Kurt Weill’s Lindbergh’s Flight (performed by Orchestra Miami) scored impressively. In the pivotal role of Claudio, Nelson was every inch the Caesar of Rome, his every utterance riveting. The warmth, flexibility and depth of his vocal range were surely displayed throughout the evening."

Schmopera

"MacMillan and bass-baritone Neil Nelson as Masetto played out the couple’s quarrels with clever forays into near-sprechstimme, adding an edge of humour tinged with realism."

Palm Beach Daily News

"“Danielle MacMillan and Neil Nelson were splendid as the blue-collar couple Zerlina and Masetto... the rich–voiced, stage-savvy Nelson made the unsophisticated bridegroom more spunky and human than usual in this role.”

South Florida Classical Review

"Neil Nelson gave a subtle performance as Zerlina’s husband Masetto, drawing out the character’s comedy and hapless humanity without veering into exaggeration."

South Florida Classical Review

"Neil Nelson exuded dignity and commanding presence as the Masonic high priest Sarastro. His voluminous bass-baritone had the low notes for Sarastro’s two arias well in hand."

Stage Left

"Bass-baritone Neil Nelson's Hagen is a captivating study in emotional conflict and avarice, delivered with a big, powerful voice that easily handles the low notes of this bass role.'
