Tim Anderson has been praised by reviewers for his debut at Opera Australia, where he is currently conducting Brett Dean's Hamlet:
"Conductor Tim Anderson commands the combined forces in the pit, on stage and in the auditorium superbly. His innate understanding of Hamlet [...] enables him to deliver arguably the finest reading of the score to date."
Jansson J. Antmann, Limelight
"Eloquent and beguiling: Operatic Hamlet is a triumph. Conductor Tim Anderson is the linchpin, landing sounds arriving from every direction like a sonic air traffic controller[...] The ensemble is unequivocally outstanding[...] No more words, just go and see them."
Harriet Cunningham, Sydney Morning Herald
"The orchestra was impressively prepared and the chorus sang with aplomb and remarkable accuracy [...] High accolades are due to the last but certainly not least essential member of the creative team. Tim Anderson, conducting Dean’s complex score for the first time, stood assuredly in front of the large performing forces. Not only did he give precise indications for the difficult entries to all, but he kept the stream of the music elegantly, never failing to manage the intricate balances between stage and orchestra allowing the Dane prince’s story to evolve and Dean’s music to shine, creating a momentous occasion indeed."
Zoltan Szabo, Operawire
"Tim Anderson conducts the orchestra with easy clarity through a score which is anything but easy."
Nicholas Routley, Australian Stage
"This extraordinary show [...] is admirably steered by Anglo-German conductor Tim Anderson."
Steve Moffatt, The Daily Telegraph
"Making his Australian debut, conductor Tim Anderson does a fantastic job in delivering this complex score."
Gina Fairley, Artshub
Performances run until 9 August.
