Reviews & Press
San Carlo Theatre - Shostakovich - Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk - Zinovij
… only Alexandre Kravets (Zinovij) was pleasing, with a smooth, velvety timbre
- Karyl-Lynn Zietz
Dutch National Opera - Raskatov - A Dog's Heart
Und er verwurschtet, vielfach gebrochen, Brechreiz-Kantilenen des zum Quasimenschen verwandelten Hundes, den dann Alexander Kravets affig verquer herumstrolchen lässt, mit hemmungslosem und agil Pirouetten schmetterndem Tenor. Im Graben halten Dirigent Martyn Brabbins und die Radiokammerphilharmonie trocken.

... Le Balourd superbe d’aplomb d’Alexandre Kravets…
- Opera International
Opéra Toulon - Mozart - Die Zauberflöte -Monostatos
Toute la distribution est d’une très grande qualité vocale. Monostatos - Alexander Kravets - est époustouflant.
- La Marseillaise
Teatro Massimo Palermo - Schoenberg - Moses und Aaron
On était particulièrement frappé dans le reste de la distribution par la présence exceptionnelle d’Alexandre Kravets dans le rôle du jeune homme/Adolescent nu avec un registre haut très bien timbré et d’une transparence cristalline
- Das Opernglas
Royal Opera House - Puccini - Turandot - The Emperor Altoum
Alexander Kravets sang Altoum poignantly, his tenor the pallor of milky cataract

The Odessa-born Alexander Kravets’ Emperor Altoum was a performance of great subtlety. Vocally it was strong enough to fill the auditorium but also convey the wisdom of a God-like emperor. Kravets was just the right side of frail, even giving his emperor nervous tics and a right-hand dystonia.

Tenor Alexander Kravets sits (literally) in the role of Princess Turandot’s father and ‘Son of Heaven’ Emperor Altoum. He enters the stage by way of a clever contraption that lowers him from the ‘sky’, seated on his ostentatious throne. A Royal Opera House regular, Kravets has a fine tenor voice and can ham it up nicely; here, portraying a very ancient, geriatric ruler who affects a pronounced tremor in his arm, something he keeps up throughout his whole appearance, not an inconsiderable amount of time, making for quite a physical achievement.

Shostakovich - The Nose - Police Inspector
Chacun est complètement engagé dans ses rôles (la plupart des chanteurs en assument plusieurs), intégré dans une véritable performance de troupe … et la prestation du ténor Alexander Kravets en inspecteur de police.

Pour cet opéra déroutant, la Monnaie a réuni une distribution solide et impliquée, avec des chanteurs qui apparaissent fréquemment à l’affiche de ses productions, comme Scott Hendrickx, Alexander Kravets, Natascha Petrinsky ou encore Yves Saelens. La plupart, sinon quasiment tous, se chargent de plusieurs personnages, deux, voire plus.

Alexander Kravets est totalement au service des rôles de l’inspecteur de police et de l’eunuque. Le chanteur réussit à monter dans des aigus stridents, dont la variation de voix s’accorde aux rôles dramatico-hilarants, s’attirant l'attention et l'acclamation du public, tant pour le jeu que pour la voix.

Goro, the marriage broker,is much less of a caricature than usual (and excellently sung by tenor Alexander Kravets).

Il y a dans la voix d’Aleksander Kravets quelque chose de sournois qui convient au personnage de Chouïski.

Prague National Theatre - Shchedrin - Lolita - Claire Quilty
An Humberts Widersacher Clare Quilty war es, das Geschehen zu beobachten und partiell zu kommentieren. Diese zwiespältige Person wurde von Alexander Kravet so grandios wie schmierig umgesetzt.

Vysoké tenorové polohy skvěle zvládl Alexander Kravets.

Der Handlungsverlauf endet bekanntlich mit Mord Humberts an seinem Widersacher Quilty, mephistopelish dargestellt mit schneidend-heller Tenorstimme von Alexander Kravets
