Boris Pinkhasovich's performance as Yeletsky in Pique Dame at the Bayerische Staatsoper has garnered immense praise from critics. Let's take a look at some of the reviews:
…allen voran Boris Pinkhasovich, der sich als Fürst Jelezki für seine balsamisch zelebrierte Arie den größten Zwischenapplaus verdiente.
• Juan Martin Koch, nmz
The Russian baritone Boris Pinkhasovich received the longest ovation for his Yeletski, which had already been acclaimed in Baden-Baden in 2022. The voluminous, piercing and warm voice gives a sumptuous "Ya vas lioubliou" in the first act, making us believe that the Love can triumph in this opera, which soon proves the opposite.
• Luc Roger, Opera World
Besonders bejubelt wurden zurecht der Russe Boris Pinkhasovich als souveräner Fürst Jelezki
• Peter Jungblut, BR-KLASSIK
Boris Pinkhasovich is, simply, a Yeletzki as he should be. Timbre, emission and articulation leave nothing to be desired. This wonderful baritone from Petersburg does not waste any of the many possibilities that his character offers him to shine and display a clean and expressive, magnificent singing line.

• Guy Cherqui, WandererSite
Diese ist nämlich mit Fürst Jelezki liiert, und in dieser Partie ist Boris Pinkhasovich ein weiterer Glücksfall der Premiere. In fast schon belcantoartigem Duktus und feinem Timbre schenkte er dem Abend eine unerhörte Differenzierung.
• Bayerische Staatszeitung
As always, Yeletsky stole the show with his Act II aria wonderfully sung by Boris Pinkhasovich.
