| “Lakme’ TULSA ” | |||||||||||
“A standout performance was given by Marcus DeLoach (Nilikantha), who heightened the drama with the heft of his rich voice and with his tonal shadings.” |

| “Lakme’ provides showcase for its voices ” | |||||||||||
"Marcus DeLoach sang the role of Nilakantha, Lakme's piously vengeful father, with a rich, ringing tone that gave his character gravitas; this was no cartoonish villain, by any stretch. " |

| “CONSTUCTION OF BOSTON IS A LOVE NOTE TO THE CITY ” | |||||||||||
| “...Marcus DeLoach sang ardently in several smaller roles... The Procession, led by Anker and DeLoach, was spot-on; chorus and soloists didn't pretend the nonsensical Gertrude Stein text was code for something else, but treated the words as meaningful in their own right. In Thomson's hands, they are. ” | |||||||||||

| “A HOLOCAUST CONTEMPLATION, INSPIRED BY A HARDY POEM ” | |||||||||||
| “The poet was inspired to write her work, in part, by Thomas Hardy's poem "The Darkling Thrush." Mr. Weisman was similarly inspired by Lee Hoiby's song setting of that Hardy poem. A performance of that song, powerfully sung by Marcus DeLoach, appropriately concludes this ambitious production.” | |||||||||||

| “PROFESSIONALS, LOCALS COMBINE FOR SPLENDID "FLUTE"” | |||||||||||
| “...Marcus DeLoach's Papageno almost stole the show. Ideal timing with his numerous comic lines and talented stage acting combined effectively. His physical slapstick scenes all induced broad laughter.” | |||||||||||

| “MEROLA GRADUATES PROVE READY FOR THE OPERA WORLD” | |||||||||||
| “Marcus DeLoach, a perhaps more seasoned baritone, was terrific in an otherwise under-voiced ensemble from Mozart's ``Cosi fan tutte'' and truly funny opposite Kirk Eichelberger in Donizetti's famous ``Cheti, cheti, immantinente'' from ``Don Pasquale.'' DeLoach is quite a gift to this repertory.” | |||||||||||
