"Pablo Bemsch proved an equally impressive Faust. The Argentinian tenor has a lovely sweet sound, fresh and honest, one that is well-supported and consistent. The role is a long sing and Bemsch had the necessary stamina ... this was a Faust with whom one could readily empathise. Bemsch communicated Faust’s ardour, yearning and obsessive curiosity, but also his dignity, and there was a strong sense of the passing of time and his growing distress in old age. This was a contemplative, at times introspective Faust, and Bemsch made his reveries ‘real’, particularly in ‘Giunto sul passo estremo’ when the older Faust’s dreams of universal serenity pulsed with elation."

Faust, Mefistofele - Chelsea Opera Group, March 2019
Claire Seymour, Opera Today
"Pablo Bemsch was a poetic Faust, his vocal line clean and buoyant, his use of the text impeccable: this was old-school singing in a very positive sense."

Faust, Mefistofele - Chelsea Opera Group, March 2019
Yehuda Shapiro, Opera Magazine, June 2019
"Faust was taken by Argentine tenor Pablo Bemsch, His strength of delivery, ever ardent, reflects his past roles such as Alfredo in La traviata. His aria while dying (‘Giunto sul passo estremo’) was beautifully touching..."

Faust, Mefistofele - Chelsea Opera Group, March 2019
Colin Clark, Seen and Heard International
"Argentinian tenor Pablo Bemsch had the ardour and the notes to make Faust the quintessential lost soul in search of meaning..."

Faust, Mefistofele - Chelsea Opera Group, March 2019
Nick Kimberley, Evening Standard
"The cast was strong. The great performance came from Pablo Bemsch as Faust, effortlessly voiced, the mix of sensuality and moral agony superbly conveyed."

Faust, Mefistofele - Chelsea Opera Group, March 2019
Tim Ashley, The Guardian
"His singing was super – glorious full-throttle Italianate tone and style throughout this taxing role."
