Reviews
"...the Bangkok-based American baritone Ralph Schatzki['s] Scarpia was full of sly menace and self-sustaining authority." (Marc Rochester - Andante, Classical Music Magazine, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
- July, 2003)
"As Don Giovanni, Ralph Schatzki cut a dashing figure.....
He has been the key player in almost all of Bangkok Opera's productions..... He was in excellent voice." (Flo S. Tan - Bangkok Post, Bangkok, Thailand - November 20, 2004)
"Magical Night.... Ralph Schatzki was a great Don Giovanni..... Schatzki's voice was crisp and clear, the words projected with the easiest arrogance you ever heard" (Jonathan Richmond - The Nation, Bangkok,Thailand - November 28, 2004)
"Ralph Schatzki was Amonasro... [His] singing was clear, biting, engaged and alarmingly penetrating. Schatzki’s presence was a powerful one
as he gave Aida a vocal flogging to make her not a woman freed from Egyptian slavery, but serf enslaved to her father’s will. Fantastic! Bravo!"
