Read what the London press is saying about Peter as Siegfried in Regent Opera’s “Siegfried”!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The titular character was Heldentenor Peter Furlong, untiring throughout; the final scene, with the force-of-nature Catharine Woodward as Brünnhilde, found two vocal giants at their height. "
Colin Clarke, Opera Now
“The British-American tenor Peter Furlong revealed Siegfried's growing confidence with nuanced, passionate singing…(that) was consistently tireless and unforced”.
Opera Magazine (opera.co.uk)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “As if released from starting blocks, (heldentenor Peter Furlong‘s) Siegfried…in black hoodie with teddy bear under his arm, hurtles through the audience at top speed and leaps on stage for his first vocal entry, impressively still in control of his breath (and) was watchable, convincing and well able to jump through the role’s vocal hoops.”
Fiona Maddocks, The Observer/Guardian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Peter Furlong effectively captures the character of Siegfried, and the transformational arc he undergoes over the course of the opera, while revealing strong and accurate singing that never flags over this most challenging of roles.”
Sam Smith, Musicomh.com

“Als Kontrast der unverhohlen selbstbewusst und doch pubertär-kindlich, dann wieder prahlerisch- arrogant auftretende junge Kraftprotz Siegfried im lockeren Strickpulli: überragende, klingende Stimme des namhaften amerikanischen Heldentenors Peter Furlong.
Dr. Charles Ritterband, Klassik-begeistert.de
“Peter Furlong was vocally immense throughout the opera, vividly expressing a vast emotional range from driven rage and confusion, through bewildered anguish and triumph to final radiant, ardent yearning.”
Florence Anna Maunders, Planethugill.com
“Peter Furlong’s Siegfried captured the development of the character…mightily. Furlong had no issues coping with the vocal demands.”
Andrew Lohmann, London-unattached.com
“Peter Furlong leads the cast as Siegfried, delivering a powerful performance that resonates.”
Maria Alejandra Trujillo, Bnnbreaking.com
“Peter Furlong, a fine and tireless Heldentenor, doffs his coat (revealing a ‘Slayer’ tee-shirt) and gives a bravura performance.”
Chris Kettle, SeenandHeardInternational.com
“Furlong sustained his vocal ardour right to the last”

"Peter Furlong’s Tristan was a wonderfully dark sound, the true heldentenor blend of baritone and tenor that reaches up to all the necessary high notes with a very macho timbre. I hope to hear him again."
“Peter Furlong’s well sung and well acted Siegmund is different and exciting - much more intense than normally seen, more passionate and physical, matching the passion in the music…I've seen Die Walküre over a dozen times over the last 50 years ... and this was the most moving version that I have seen.”
