Opera Reviews

The Vodnik, in Rusalka , West Australian Opera 2024, Opera Australia 2025, Opera QLD 2026

“Helpmann Award-winning Warwick Fyfe reprises his 2025 role as Vodnik. His distinctive booming baritone rumbles with disdain at his daughter when she longs to become human to meet her beloved Prince. Vodnik’s bald-headed, shrouded form gives chilling Voldemort vibes when he dominates both the stage and his offspring with his resonant rage.” Gemma Reagan, Scenestr. 26/6/3026

Wotan, in Walküre, 2022; Der Ring des Nibelungen 2023. Melbourne Opera Company

“The highlight of the evening however is Warwick Fyfe. He brought Alberich to flaming life in the Opera Australia Ring and he is a better Wotan than the Melbourne Opera has any right to dream of. He has a surging authority which is inseparable from his capacity to convey tension and self-division, so that his ‘Leb wohl’ is full of a subtle minimalist movement as the mist of flames surrounds the hushed body of his beloved daughter.” Peter Craven, Spectator Australia. 19/02/2022

Meistersinger, Melbourne Opera 2025

“Making his role debut as Hans Sachs, veteran Heldenbaritone Warwick Fyfe triumphs. The stentorian voice; his suppleness of vocal line and the vast scope of coloration he achieves are nothing short of astonishing. His stage presence as an actor alone would render his performance mesmerising but add this glorious voice and he is magnetic every time he takes the stage.” 

Gregory Pritchard, Concertonet.

Concert Reviews

Verdi Requiem

Queensland Symphony Orchestra

Under the baton of Maestro Umberto Clerici


“Baritone Warwick Fyfe was eminently suited to the role, his sonorous, robust tone as rich as figgy pudding. His rendition of the haunting Confutatis (When the Cursed) was magnificent, and the combination of his bass, the chorus and the trumpets during Tuba Mirum was thrilling.” Dr Gemma Regan, Limelight. 5/10/2025

Gurrelieder

Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Under the baton of Maestra Simone Young. 


“Australian bass-baritone Warwick Fyfe's performance of a part that has been taken by actors like Werner Klemperer (son of the conductor, Otto) or by ex-singers (Schoenberg apparently mulled over the idea of a retired tenor) was magisterial – full of illuminating gesture and direct communication (helping us to ‘see’, for example, the web that the summer wind tore away). 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

Siegfried

Sydney Symphony Orhestra

Under the baton of Maestra Simone Young


“Warwick Fyfe more than rises to the challenge as Mime’s brother Alberich. Here we have two of the world’s best Nibelung, and like Siegel, Fyfe has made his role his own (including during all three stagings of the Ring Cycle by Opera Australia in 2013 Both enunciate perfectly, extracting every ounce of textual information Wagner embedded in his libretto.

And most importantly, they rid the Nibelung of the farcical and antisemitic traits often imposed on them, restoring a gravitas that befits the race after which Wagner’s tetralogy is named. It is, after all, Alberich’s curse that propels the Ring Cycle to its inevitable conclusion.”

Jansson J Antmann. Limelight, 13/11/2025
