“Jake Ingbar, whose velvety countertenor is a perfect fit for Andronico.”
@guardian
“Ingbar sang with great beauty of tone, clarity and sympathy. Here, Ingbar, as he prowled around the stage seemed to have real moral authority. His great aria that concluded Act One was terrific stuff and Ingbar’s sense of drama only developed more. For once, you understood why this was the role played by Handel’s leading man.”

“Despite the cast being strong all around, the performance of Jake Ingbar as Andronico stood out. The combination of security and agility in his countertenor, which saw it produce some beautifully pure sounds while still possessing just a slight edge, made for a thrilling performance.”

“Jake Ingbar plays a rather cool and dignified Andronico – again a character that could feel very one note – but he gives him a real depth from the contemplative to the passionate. A bold and colourful voice that could not only blend seamlessly in the duets with Asteria but also hold his own, shaping each phrase with a delicate yet energetic musicality.”
@operanowmagazine
“It was Jake Ingbar’s lovely counter-tenor voice, strong yet lyrical, that truly impressed. Ingbar has a
voice of utter beauty and lyricism but with a core of steel.”
@operatoday
“The classiest singing came from two refugees from English National Opera’s revival of Partenope last autumn. Nardus Williams was born to sing Handel and her pearly soprano shone brightly here as Asteria, captivating the audience. American countertenor Jake Ingbar, with his purity of tone and liquid phrasing, was an equally fine Andronico, both he and Williams bending notes deliciously in the duet “Vivo in te”, the opera’s highlight, accompanied by buttery recorders.”
