“His generous throat produces great torrents of autumnal tones with apparent ease. If I were casting Hoffmann anywhere, Relyea would be my unhesitating first choice for the villains.”
     - Opera News

“But it was Relyea’s Oedipe which hijacked the evening, in a performance so versatile and commanding that opera houses worth the name should be rushing to sign him up for a fully staged version of this astonishing work.”
     - The Guardian

“It is a magnificent black velvet cloak of a voice that wraps itself around everything in sight and that is ideal for opera.”
     - The Scotsman

“... a performance of hair-raising vocal and emotional power.”
     - The London Times

“...surely one of the most beautiful voices to be heard today.”
