Press Reviews

„Basso Miklos Sebestyen was a very impressive Friar (the Ghost of Charles V), drawing a round of applause fo his sustained low F-sharp in the St. Juste scene of Act I.”

Verdi: Don Carlo (Metropolitan Opera New York)
(Oberon's Grove)


„Sebestyén was an effectively regal king, and evoked the Pontius-Pilate element of his character very well at the end of Act II, where he is torn between his advisors about the fate of the captured Ethiopians.”

Verdi: Aida (Metropolitan Opera New York)
(Dominic Wells - Opera Britannia)


„The always fierce Hercules was played by the bass singer Miklós Sebestyén who excelled with a wink in his eye, not only in his aria “Nur Ruhm und Ehre will ich erobern (Fame and glory I want to achieve)”

Händel: Admeto (Leipzig Opera)
(Udo Pacolt - Der Neue Merker)


„For the bass singer Miklós Sebestyén the role of Hercules presents no vocal problems whatsoever. His well grounded voice and heroic character makes the aria Nur Ruhm und Ehre will ich erobern (Fame and glory I want to achieve) worthy of Hercules”

Händel: Admeto (Leipzig Opera)
(Dr. Andreas Gerth - www.operapoint.com)


„The "masked characters" - Miklós Sebestyén in role of Celio and Susan Maclean as Fata Morgana seem even livelier than their "normal" counterparts. The two "lower class wizards" act as ring leaders, whether by using a "conductor-puppet" or by sending the "automatic maid" (Smeraldina) to battle.”

Prokofiev: The Love for Three Oranges (Leipzig Opera)
Andreas Hillger - Mitteldeutsche Zeitung


„The bass, Miklós Sebestyén presented Raphael with humour, showed his acting talent and his vocal versatility.”

Haydn: The creation (Klangvocal Festival, Dortmund)
