"Comstock's powerful tenor captured the fervor of Des Grieux's ardor, soaring to majestic heights in moments of impassioned pleading."

"He saved his best moment all night for the character's, managing some real squillo in Des Grieux's cray outburst 'Pazzo son, guardate.' He calibrated well Des Grieux's grief in Act IV, attuned dynamically to Gramagin, and his acting situated the character as more relatable and less alpha than some tenors."

"Here he shows that (his) voice is simply perfect for Puccini. Several times he swiftly soars up an octave, his voice swelling with smooth power as he reaches that summit. His Act III plea for mercy presents the sheer glorious size of his voice."
