"Bass-baritone Benjamin Schilperoort sung Hush, No More with a dark fervour and great beauty."
The Guardian, August 2024

"Benjamin Schilperoort se fait un ancrage à toute cette volupté. Sa ligne de basse est essentielle aux chants d’ensemble, mais il marque surtout dans le rôle de l’Hiver (Winter), glaçant. Sa maîtrise des graves est égale à la stabilité de son timbre, large, et doublée d’un son amplement riche. Sur scène, il se meut toujours serein, prenant son temps, même dans la précipitation."

"Benjamin Schilperoort anchors all this voluptuousness. His bass line is essential to the ensemble singing, but he makes his mark especially in the chilling role of Winter. His mastery of the lower register is matched by the stability of his broad timbre, coupled with an amply rich sound. On stage, he always moves serenely, taking his time, even in a hurry."
Olyrix, June 2024
"Benjamin Schilperoort intoned “Hush, no more” with grave authority."
Parterre Box, Nov 2023
"Benjamin Schilperoort as Sleep appealed with his stoic bass-baritone."
Bachtrack, August 2023
"And, as a kind of double act, Adam Maxey’s Bartolo and Benjamin Schilperoort’s Basilio, enjoyed their comedy chances, too, carrying conviction despite their youthful years, with powerful singing from both."
The Arts Desk, July 2021
"Powerfully sung and comically adroit."
Theatre Reviews North, July 2021
"Benjamin Schilperoort (Golaud) simmered and suffered with contained intensity, his bass-baritone lean and resonant."
Yehuda Shapiro, Opera Magazine, July 2019
"Jealous prince Golaud (Benjamin Schilperoort) seems a bit of a stand-out."
The Prickle, May 2019
"Schilperoort’s bass generally shows immense promise, with generous power and control... a very exciting bass voice."
Bachtrack, May 2017
"Bass-baritone Benjamin Schilperoort as Seneca is raw and ready for the role... His voice is authoritative, yet sung with emotional conviction, enough for audiences to pity him and his plight."
Trendfem, May 2017
"Benjamin Schilperoort made an imposing Seneca, both physically and vocally, his bass rich and strong... Schilperoort gave the role real pathos in his death scene."
theidlewoman.net, May 2017
“Benjamin Schilperoort brought considerable expertise to the performance. Of particular note were the flow and expression achieved in Liebesbotschaft, the contrasts and heartfelt utterances of Ständchen, the dynamic ranges traversed in Aufenthalt, the strength of Der Atlas, where Benjamin was able to unleash the full power of his voice... a most praiseworthy interpretation of Schubert's masterpiece.”
The Schubertian, Oct 2016
