“…Boden delivered the best solo of the evening – combining a warm, effortless and smooth style with impressive emotive inflexions.” Seen and Heard International, 10 April 2012

“…a better tenor soloist for this role could not be imagined. Samuel Boden had extremely clear diction – literally evangelising as he sang… he was in many ways the highlight of the evening.” Translated from Fædrelandsvennen, 30 March 2012

“The tenor Samuel Boden sang the Prologue and the role of Peter Quint with finesse – beautiful legato lines, clear diction and a gorgeous tone. His acting was also impressive, implying the hidden depravity and power of Quint.” Opera, January 2012
