“The scene ended startingly with the voice of MacDuff (Drew Slatton) slashing in, vowing vengeance. And this was grandeur singing! Slatton made his Syracuse Opera debut and, judging by the reaction, the audience would like to hear him in more roles."
- Neil Novelli, The Post-Standard
"Syracuse Opera's satisfying MacBeth reflected enormous credit on the company. Verdi's difficult yet rewarding work cam across strongly both dramatically and musically. Drew Slatton won cheers for his impassioned reading of 'Ah, la paterna mano.'"
- David Shengold, Opera News
The Syracuse Opera presented MacBeth with a largely capable cast including a knock out performance by - surprise, surprse! - the MacDuff, sung by Drew Slatton, an up-and-coming tenor surely to keep an eye on."
