Praise for Nick’s performance:

BOSTON MUSICAL INTELLIGENCER:

“In the title role, tenor Nicholas Phan exhibited his customary careful musicianship…he applied subtle shifts of coloration to his character’s evolution. From self-possessed confidence in the inherent justice of the world through despair at his moral dilemma, he rightly arrived at an endpoint where a tint of plaintive not-quite-believing haunts his grateful praise of God. ‘Waft her, angels,’ Jephtha’s grief-stricken plea for the heavens to grant his daughter in afterlife the protection he himself could not, waxed especially poignant, each soft hitch on the first syllable of “angels” lodging another hook in the heart.”

THE ARTS FUSE:

“In this production he sang with great beauty and tenderness; his Jephtha starts off as a noble commander and morphed into a memorable portrait of spiritual disintegration — his fatal vow and bravado end up destroying his world.”
