Bannister delivered an excellent, if rather youthful, Dr. Baglioni, Rappaccini’s nemesis. (Bannister actually might essay an interesting Giovanni himself.)” -Opera News “Recompense was had in the tenor (Curtis Bannister[‘s]) magnificent voice which moved this comprimario part to centerstage in his every scene.” -Chicago Classical Review “Curtis Bannister plays the pivotal role of Dr. Baglioni, the conscience of the story, the man who warns both Rappaccini and Giovanni. Bannister is a well-rounded performer who has a robust voice, enticing phrasing, and a gift for acting.” -The Hyde Park Herald “Also crucial to the story is Dr. Baglioni (the formidable tenor Curtis Bannister), the humane (and notably stylish) doctor who rebukes Rappaccini for his warped experiments, and warns Giovanni against becoming caught up in them.” -WTTW (PBS Chicago) “The most committed of the acting came from the antagonistic doctors…Curtis Bannister was urgent, disturbed, almost frantic as Baglioni…Hernandez’ smooth, rich baritone contrasting against the brightness and flexibility of Bannister’s tenor.” -Bachtrack. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/5e07e1bb-f8d2-4632-a6c2-9ad6532ecd20/20201123_165929239_iOS.jpg PRESS - Breathing Free heartbeat opera “”Bannister’s heart-rending ’Gott! Welch dunkel hier!’.…his tenor, alternately firm and hushed, conveying resolve and vulnerability.” -Opera News “ ‘Lonely Dark & Lovely One’ is infinitely moving as sung by Curtis Bannister accompanied by Jason Thomas on piano…Bannister evokes the loneliness of the lyrics with his expressive face and oh so sweet voice. This is a highlight among many.” — L.A. Dance Chronicle “ ‘Lovely Dark and Lonely One,’ the 1935 work composed by Burleigh and written by Hughes, shows tenor Curtis Bannister…A quiet revelation, a scene juxtaposed with dancing in front of Lake Michigan at sunrise.” —LA Times “Curtis Bannister sang Stan's (Florestan's) aria "Gott! Welch Dunkel hier!" ("What Darkness Here") with dark dramatic tones that underscored the terrors of his circumstances..” —Broadway World “Let’s keep it simple and just say the music is great. Bass-baritone Derrell Acon, tenor Curtis Bannister, and soprano Kelly Griffin are first-rate singers…A straightforward example is ‘Lovely, Dark, and Lonely One’, where Curtis Bannister heart-wrenchingly confronts his enervated image in the mirror, exhorting himself to “not be afraid of the light” and “[o]pen your arms to pain and strife” — Breathing Free isn’t opera per se. Rather, Heartbeat Opera has created a work with far broader appeal (and if it turns a few newbies on to the art form, so much the better).” —Random Length News https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/1597246324063-TMDT9AWHC46IOUXFGYHR/image-asset.jpeg PRESS https://www.thecurtisbannister.com/latest daily 0.75 2025-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/bca3280b-ece7-4000-b08d-1d7c3675474d/Curtis-5.jpg LATEST January 2025 | OperaWire feature for "Delta King's Blues" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/99c03163-a8d7-481d-a377-767f54330f1b/Jamilyn-Manning-White-John-Taylor-Ward-Curtis-Bannister-Bernard-Holcombe-and-Hans-Tashjian-Gabrielle-Ferrari.jpg LATEST October 2024 | Heartbeat Opera's SLAYLEM is a New York Times Critics' Weekend Pick https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/1719518087580-YXRPL5ETFIHXG101V1E1/Hottest%2BDay%2Bof%2Bthe%2BYear.jpg LATEST April 2024 | Curtis returns as Juror 8 in Asolo Rep revival of "12 Angry Men- A New Musical" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/d9025afe-4f6c-4c34-92b8-cc7138f3f216/Rev+Brown+sermon+2.jpg LATEST December 2023 | Curtis debuts at Asolo Rep in "Inherit the Wind" and "Intimate Apparel" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f31e72089237f65ccad4334/bd6d30f5-bda8-4ca6-9a49-c0bf53f3f104/BIGRIVER-4694.jpg LATEST August 2023 | Joseph Jefferson Award Nomination for Best Performance by a Principal Actor in a Musical -
