Nicolai Elsberg makes a superb King Marke of sovereign nobility.
sceneweb, June 17, 2024, Christophe Candoni

 
Nicolai Elsberg has the bass of rare depth that befits King Marke.
concertclassic.com, June 17, 2024, Laurent Bury
 
For his first Wagnerian role, the young Danish bass Nicolai Elsberg is fully up to the task in his incarnation of King Marke.  The voice flows with art and ease, broad and powerful, and with a deep bass that delights the ear.
Olyrix, June 17, 2024, José Pons

 
Nicolai Elsberg's King Marke imposes his presence despite the surrounding darkness with the aura of his powerful and deep bass...

Die Zauberflöte - Opéra National du Rhin


"
Die Besetzung wird vom mächtigen Sarastro des dänischen Basses Nicolai Elsberg dominiert. Er verfügt über eine imposante, kraftvolle und sonore Stimme, die in den Dienst einer besonders schönen, ausdrucksstarken und mit einem tiefen Bass ausgesstatteten Gesangslinie gestellt wird. Seine hohe Gestalt ist beeindruckend!
Olyrix, Dezember 2022

“...the sepulchral, telluric timbre of Oroveso, the young Danish bass Nicolai Elsberg, whose stature is as imposing as his sonic power (and his aria with the chorus, “Guerrieri! A voi venirme!”, in Act II, is a beauty of musical line and feeling).” Forum Opera, June 2023 Norma, Opéra de Lausanne
"The danish bass Nicolai Elsberg enforces a magnificent Oroveso, at the same time gloomy and sonorous, with an impeccable musicality."
Scherzo, June 2023 Norma, Opéra de Lausanne
 
"With the black color of a Hunding, a Fafner, a König Marke, Nicolai Elsberg has no difficulty portraying Oroveso cut with a sickle, more a peremptory leader of the druids than a compassionate father."
Crescendo Magazine, June 2023 Norma, Opéra de Lausanne
 
"The tall Nicolai Elsberg created a twilight Oroveso with a huge bass."
Onlinemerker, June 2023 Norma, Opéra de Lausanne
 
"...the huge deep bass of imposing stature as Oroveso."
- Le Temps, June 2023 Norma, Opéra de Lausanne

“The cast is dominated by the Danish bass Nicolai Elsberg's mighty Sarastro. He has an imposing voice, powerfully projected and sonorous, put at the service of a particularly beautiful vocal line, very expressive and endowed with a deep bass. His tall figure is impressive!” Olyrix, December 2022 Die Zauberflöte, Opéra National de Rhin

“But how can you take your eyes off of the huge Danish bass Nicolai Elsberg towering above all the other protagonists? Detaching each syllable in a skilfull rhythm that sublimates the tired nobility of the character, endowed with a rare delicacy, his cavernous bass touches the heart and delights the ear thanks to a dark timbre and a powerful voice with immense potential.” Forum Opera, December 2022 Die Zauberflöte, Opéra National de Rhin

“The Dane Nicolai Elsberg is exceptional as Sarastro, with a tone nurtured by a satin-like darkness, a phrasing and an art of legato — all of this bringing tears to the eyes.” - AltaMusica, December 2022 Die Zauberflöte, Opéra National de Rhin

“Nicolai Elsberg as Sarastro impresses with his presence and the sonorous depth of his low register.” ResMusica, December 2022 Die Zauberflöte, Opéra National de Rhin

“…but the most breathtaking, Nicolai Elsberg with an often richly colored, deep bass. …Nicolai Elsberg truly unfolded in the section about the flames of hell, "Confutatis". He created an intensely lectured scene with equal parts excitement and powerlessness, and no matter where he was, in depth or height, in powerful or soft dynamics, the bass voice was projected into an expressive and sonorous aura.”
June 2022 Verdi Requiem, Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra

The Great-singing, sky-tall bass Nicolai Elsberg, needs to be highlighted for eminent presence as arrogant Newspaper Clerk in wheelchair and decorative Doctor, as a take-off from the Russian country-aristocracy.
May 2022 The Nose, The Royal Danish Opera
