Markheim, Markheim (Little Opera Theatre of NY 2015)
“Tyler Putnam gave a superb performance in the title role, alternately self-serving, malevolent and tragic. Markheim is something of a tour de force for bass, and Putnam proved more than up to the task.”
Arlo McKinnon, Opera News
“Of the performers in both operas, the standout was Tyler Putnam, the second-cast Markheim; but all were persuasive.”
John Rockwell, Opera Magazine
“Putnam is brilliant as Markheim, filling the role with his robust and resonant bass.”
Zachary Stewart, TheaterMania
“The contrast between Mr. Putnam's flexible yet formidable bass and the high character tenor of Mr. Turner made for compelling listening, drawing the audience into the depths of the characters and their essential conflict.”

“Markheim made a good vehicle for Tyler Putnam, precise of pitch and diction and visually convincing in the 'dastardly ruined noble rake' title part.”
