Ian Massa-Harris LYRIC TENOR

WitchHansel and Gretel – King’s Head Theatre, LondonWriter: Engelbert HumperdinckTranslator & Director: Lewis ReynoldsReviewer: Michael GrayThe Public Reviews Rating: 3.5 out of 5"I enjoyed Ian Massa-Harris’s Little Britain witch, too, creepily menacing in his cardie and specs, greedily eyeing the oven-ready lost children. But while Janet A N Fischer made a believable mother, scolding one moment, desperately praying the next"MimeJeremy Rowe - Wagner SocietyDas Rheingold - Fulham Opera - Sept 2011"Among a consistently strong cast we especially liked Sara Gonzalez’s Erda (rising mysteriously out of the darkened audience), Robert Presley’s repulsive Alberich, and Ian Massa-Harris’ brilliant cameo Mime."MimeAlthea Talbot-Howard - Opera TalentDas Rheingold - Fulham Opera - Sept 2011"The cast was completed by the presence of Ian Massa-Harris as Mime in Scene 3, the Nibelungen's cave, whose melodious tenor voice helped create the sense of innocence and powerlessness which made an excellent counterfoil to the devious machinations of Brian Smith-Walters' Loge."LeoporelloAdam HighburyDon Giovanni - John McIntosh Theatre, Fulham, September 2009"during the Act 2 sextet as his disguise was removed, revealing an unexpected and beautiful lyrical line".TarabottoVivien Window - Harborough MailL'inganno felice - Harborough Theatre - November 2006"Her rescuer, Tarabotto (Ian Massa-Harris) and Batone (Tom Lowe), added comedy to their fine voices, so their crazy duet is hysterically funny"DulcamaraJane Wild - Camdem New JournalL'elisir D'amore - Hampstead - March 2006"Ian Massa-Harris (Dulcamara) with his rich bass baritone voice and impeccable pronunciation of Italian along with his experience of theatrics breathed blood into the veins of his quack doctor character, with Russell Hawkins playing his bungling assistant"Don AlfonsoTim Passmore - www.operatalent.comCosi fan tutte - The Warehouse - May 2004"Ian Massa-Harris demonstrated a fine technique and a ringing vocal instrument, as well as an authoritative stage presence as the philospher Don Alfonso"MoralesChris Williams - NODA (National Operatic and Dramatic Association) Carmen - Kent - October/November 2001"Janine Button's Michaela was sweet, clear and unworldly, the antithesis of Carmen, and she was delightfully harassed in Act 1 by Ian Massa-Harris in the guise of Morales"
Shane Cullinan - Composer"Ian Massa-Harris consistently delivers solid performances and does so with commitment and natural flair"Benjamin Till - Composer/Director"Ian is a talented, personable and conciencious singer. He is a talented actor and will give anything a try, which is a rare thing in the opera world. I've have worked with him now on 3 occasions and felt privileged to direct him in Cosi fan tutte. He made a very convincing Don Alfonso. I look forward to working with him in the future."David Bray - Conductor / Editor Boosey & Hawkes"Ian Massa-Harris’s vocal workshop using Cathy Berberian’s Stripsody was a quite extraordinary event. I could not have imagined hearing forty people singing with the degree of imagination, panache, exuberance and humour that he elicited from them. Initial inhibitions were quickly forgotten. Ian’s own singing during the workshop inspired and stimulated, and his approach to technique complemented perfectly what I wanted from the choir in the concert they were preparing. Heartily recommended to any singing group, large or small. "StudentsCatrin Jones - Brunel University"After working with Ian on two very different musicals, I found him to be a very competent vocal teacher. His knowledge with regards to breathing, posture, vocal exercises were of immense help to me and i benefited from them hugely. In addition, his friendly and lively natured personality made the rehearsals fun and interesting, which increased our quality as performers. I am truly grateful for his help and advice, and can only hope that i will work with him again in the future"
