“Warwick Fyfe’s Water King is a bold, terrifying, and wondrous presence on stage. The bass baritone handled the drama and technical demands of the role with poise. It’s a pleasure to hear this voice type at length” Limelight, 29/07/2024. Emma Jayakumar. See trailer:
“The singing was of a consistently high standard, with the Alberich of Warwick Fyfe particularly fine. His familiar, award-winning portrayal of this character was superb, the sudden moments of vocal beauty in his powerful singing giving the character unexpected but moving glimpses of a flawed and deeply buried humanity. “ Michael Halliwell, ABR. 4/12/2023
“And into the history books Warwick Fyfe goes in accomplishing a feat of operatic strength and flexibility after demonstrating what a commanding Wotan he can portray in MOC’s Ring earlier this year and following up with a performance equal to the world’s best with his persistently parasitic and impactful Alberich. “ Paul Selar, Opera Today. 10/12/2023
“The singing was of a generally high order, led by Warwick Fyfe’s magisterial Wotan, a long way from his last seen (but equally effective) appearance as Bottom. He suggested a boss god genuinely challenged by the magnitude of the decisions demanded of him, and it will be interesting to see how this develops through the succeeding operas.” Sandra Bowdler, 25/-3/2023.

"Toward the end it was if Fyfe was longing to sing, a moving yearning that led logically into a powerful choral conclusion, testament to music’s ability to deliver the most decisively powerful climaxes.” Gordon Williams, Operawire. 24/03/2024
