      Nathan Granner as The Magician, "a wildly successful tour de force"

      -Opera News

      The Magician scene in Gian Carlo Menotti's horror tale of bureaucracy is a moment of slight mirth in the dire straits accompanying the opera characters. Real magic, comedic choreography and devilishly deceptive music make this scene a challenge and a reward for cast and audience alike.

      Granner exuded menace as Ghino's sinister servant, Ubaldo

      Pia de’ Tolomei
      Spoleto USA

      DC Theatre Scene
      —Susan Galbraith

      Nathan Granner grabs the role of Ubaldo with a sure dramatic sensibility in the opera’s opening moments. In addition to using his voice to great effect, he also carries the style of that period from the tilt of his hat to his low-centered slouch.

      Opera News
      —Timothy Mangan 

      " when a magician approaches the secretary to make his case, performs magic tricks and hypnotizes the assembled, is a wildly successful tour de force, which Nathan Granner made the most of here."

      Granner's "Edgardo takes on heroic stature in Act 3"

      Bel canto and Scottish battlements at Forest Lawn

      LA Opus
      - David J Brown

      ...the challenge for Mr Granner was considerable in having to refocus the audience’s attention, near the end of a longish evening, on the love-lost Edgardo’s tragic plight. However, he rose to the moment splendidly...

      Invention of Morel

      ...a brilliant piece of musical surrealism

      Chicago Tribune - John von Rhein

      With his high, ethereal tenor, Nathan Granner conveys megalomaniacal suave as the Prospero-like inventor Morel ("Immortality is a holy grail!" declares this master of his machines).

      'Blind Love and Immortality' 

      Chicago Sun-Times
      Hedy Weiss

      There is Morel ... honeyed tenor Nathan Granner, just smarmy and egotistical enough as the “inventor” who is revealing his monumental discovery...
