"All hail … Macduff? That was certainly the buzz last night after Eric Barry’s extraordinary performance of the aria “Ah, la paterna mano”: Barry takes his solo moment — as the stunned Macduff learns that the other Macker has slaughtered his entire family — and makes the strongest possible case for this operatic treatment of Shakespeare’s play. For an instant, time stands still while Verdi — and Barry — mine the supernatural plot for its all-too-human consequences: a recognition of shame, and rage, and, above all, sorrow for the lives discarded in the wake of vaulting ambition. It’s an amazing rendition, and the crowd at the Tobin Center roared its approval." -San Antonio Current (Macbeth, Opera San Antonio)

"Among the other characters, tenor Eric Barry as Macduff scored big with the audience of about 1,400 people with his aria announcing the murders of his character’s wife and children."

"Her Edgardo was company debutant Eric Barry, a large, beefy tenor with a clear and powerful voice. The two displayed an engaging chemistry, blending well in 'Verrano a te sull'aure.'

It was Barry who delivered the finest singing in this production, along with the most consistently involving characterization. His tenor easily filled the hall, never succumbing to unsteadiness at either end of his range. This was a fine debut, highlighted by a memorable 'Tombe degli avi miei.'" -
