GALILEO

"Shanul Sharma’s portrayal of Pope Urban VIII was riveting as Galileo encountered the full might of the Vatican’s powers of “persuasion”. Renowned for his vocal agility and the security of the upper reaches of his tenor range, he used an unwavering command of his vocal resources to reinforce the intensity of his characterisation in an extended aria of denunciation. He was an inexorable force that demanded obedience."

-Heather Leviston, Classic Melbourne

"Standouts in the consistently excellent cast were tenor Shanul Sharma, who brought welcome expressiveness to the role of Cardinal Barberini/Pope Urban VIII"

-Patricia Maunder, Limelight

"Especially impressive performances came from Dimity Shephard - the first truly emotive heart to make its presence known - Shanul Sharma as Pope Urban VIII and Stacey Alleaume as Death."

-Paul Selar, Operachaser

"Shanul Sharma does an exemplary job of some of the most difficult tenor writing you might ever hear."

-Bridget Davies, The Age
