Opera Reviews
Die Meistersinger
"“The cast, which could not be faulted, was dominated by Warwick Fyfe’s Hans Sachs (his role début) and Christopher Hillier’s Beckmesser: cobbler and town clerk at their most crafty and vexatious, but also vocally strong and persuasive, as befits two of the more venerable master singers. Fyfe, who never tired, was the ideal Sachs, his creative poetic soul always sensed from a more rough-shod exterior. Were he an actual pair of shoes, they would be sturdy walkers rather than patent leather. Fyfe lent strength and dignity to his role, most of all in his Flieder and Wahn monologues, but also brought a touch of welcome vulnerability in his two lyrical encounters with Eva.” Michael Shmith, ABR 17/02/2025
“Fyfe is spectacular, and the entire cast provide crisp and extraordinary singing that echoes magnificently in the spacious hall” Patricia de Risio, Stage Whispers. 17/02/2025

Rusalka
"Warwick Fyfe has sung a wide range of roles in Australia, most memorably perhaps in Wagner. The Water King (Vodnik) fits his voice like a glove and his rich, burnished bass-baritone did full justice to the role which has some of the most beautiful music of all. His extended scene with Car in Act Two was most moving with perhaps the finest singing of the night. These two voices soared magnificently over Dvořák’s at-times heavy, quasi-Wagnerian orchestration." Michael Halliwell, ABR.
"Bass Warwick Fyfe played the Water King. Still on top of his game, his voice dominated the theatre. It’s a fierce character with bobbling head and a deep concern for his daughter as she sacrifices so much to enter the human world. Fyfe was masterly his music, demonstrating his hatred for the human race and mourning the loss of his daughter. Heavy makeup made it more difficult to see his facial expressions. Fyfe compensated for this by amplifying each expression." Annabel Drumm, Sydney Arts Guide. 20/07/2025
Rheingold: The Ring
“Warwick Fyfe was simply magnificent. There seems to be no limit to his vocal power, yet he can also be subtle, intimate, almost conversational. His extended Act Two monologue begins with a confession: ‘When the joy of young love departed from me, my spirit longed for power.’ Fyfe almost whispered this passage, before rising at the end of his narration to a shattering and definitive ‘Das Ende’.”
Peter Rose, Australian Book Review.

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.”
