Indianapolis Star, Saturday, February 15, 1992 Zaïde, Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Cincinnati, OH	“The cast heard is a well-trained group with one vocal standout-tenor Michael Hendrick in the role of Soliman the tyrannical sultan. Splendidly outfitted, he more than lived up to his garb with singing that was vibrant, tonally lush and well-projected.”

The Aspen Times, Saturday-Sunday, July 23-24, 1994 La bohème, Aspen Opera Theatre Center, Aspen Music Festival, Aspen, CO	“Particularly good was Michael Hendrick who sang the role of the star-crossed poet Rodolfo.

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, March 4, 1995 TENOR ENTHRALLS CULTURAL CENTER CROWD “Out of the commonplace, into the rare. A golden-voiced tenor, Michael Hendrick, enthralled the crowd and transported them far from the mundane. Thanks to him, the future… looks bright. It was Hendrick’s sure command of his high notes and lyrical tone of his voice that captured center stage. He is further along, it would seem, in his artistic maturation and a convincing singer. Simply grand.”

Opera News, July 1995 Fidelio, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL, Performed in German “Michael Hendrick (Jaquino) sang neatly.”

L'Opera, Italy, July/August 1995 Fidelio, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Michael Hendrick, a Jaquino of good voice...”

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, March 26, 1996 La Forza del Destino, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Another comic talent surfaced clearly, with tenor Michael Hendrick in the role of the Muleteer Trabuco in Act II, and as the trinket peddler in Act III.”

The New York Times, July 2, 1996 Patience and Sarah, American Opera Projects, New York, NY	“Michael Hendrick, as Patience’s brother Edward, made a strong contribution.”

Metrobeat: Opera Diary, July 11, 1996 Patience and Sarah, American Opera Projects, New York, NY “Michael Hendrick as Edward White gave a noteworthy performance. The diction was superb. Every word was distinct and understandable. How often can one say that about opera performances, particularly those in English?”

Opera News, 1997 Iolanta, Dicapo Opera Theatre, New York, NY, Performed in Russian “Tenor Michael Hendrick was an ardent Vodemont, whose love is the restorative tonic.”

Venice Gondolier, March 1997 Manon, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL 	A “marvelous performance in (a) smaller but vitally important role was given by tenor Michael Hendrick.”

Longboat Observer, March 6, 1997 Manon, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL “Michael Hendrick made important contributions.... Michael Hendrick as Guillot is	convincing both as a fool and in revenge.”

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, March 26, 1997 Verdi Concert, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“The program ended with a rousing rendition of Hymn of the Nations, Verdi’s unabashed tribute to patriotism, incorporating national anthems from Italy, France, and England. The difficult tenor recitative and descant was performed with style and confidence by Michael Hendrick, substituting for an indisposed colleague. (One never	would have guessed that Hendrick learned the work in less than 24 hours!)”

Financial Times, London, March 27, 1997 Verdi Concert, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“About noon the Sarasota Opera learned that the tenor scheduled to sing that evening’s concert of Verdi rarities had begged off. In another company this defection might have caused severe dismay. So Michael Hendrick sat down with a score of Verdi’s Hymn of the Nations and, a few hours later, could perform it with clarion panache."

OperaWeb, April 15, 1997 Manon, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“A special mention to Michael Hendrick, a young dramatic tenor quite promising, who impersonated an imposing, threatening and appalling Guillot de Morfontaine: not quite the peevish old man of tradition.”

Gannett Newspapers, June 15, 1997 Cléopâtre, Opera Manhattan, Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, NY “The singers were uniformly quite strong. My favorite was tenor Michael Hendrick as Spakos, Cleopatra’s other strong love interest besides Mark Antony. Hendrick brought passion to his role and supported it with a clear, well-focused tone. He also evoked sympathy by exploring the full range of his character’s feelings.”

The New York Times, June 28, 1997 Cléopâtre, Alice Tully Hall, Opera Manhattan, New York, NY	“Tenor Michael Hendrick, the Spakos, has a bright voice.”

New York Post, June 28, 1997 Cléopâtre, Alice Tully Hall, Opera Manhattan, New York, NY	“The rest of the large cast was well-prepared and strong-voiced, led by tenor Michael Hendrick as Spakos.”

Opera News, July 1997 Manon, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Michael Hendrick made an amusing, vibrant-voiced Guillot.”

Opera News, July 1997 Verdi Concert, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“On the final Saturday, when the tenor who was to sing Verdi’s Hymn of the Nations announced he was indisposed, Michael Hendrick was able to learn the score in a	matter of hours and, with the orchestra and chorus, give a totally convincing account of a rarely heard work.”

Opera, August 1997 Manon, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Michael Hendrick’s prissy, amusing take on Guillot was balanced by colourful singing.”

Opera News, October 1997 Cléopâtre, Alice Tully Hall, Opera Manhattan, New York, NY, Performed in French “In the event, the tenor was replaced by Michael Hendrick, who acquitted himself more than satisfactorily... the queen's new paramour is her former slave Spakos, sung by	Hendrick, who displayed a mellifluous, expressive tone that remained pleasant throughout his range, with none of the pushing so common among current tenors.”

The New York Times, December 22, 1997 Iolanta, Dicapo Opera Theatre, New York, NY		“In particular… Michael Hendrick, as the prince himself, came through to an excellent lyrical sweetness in the love duet, and his high notes rang sure.”

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, March 10, 1998 Jenufa, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Tenor Michael Hendrick made a believable Laca, sulking and spiteful in Act I as he voices his resentment of his step-grandmother’s unloving treatment of him and cutting Jenufa’s cheek with his whittling knife after she repels his advances. Returning as a	reformed human being in Act II and Act III, he shows his true character as a loyal, steadfast person ready to forgive all and marry the shamed Jenufa.”

The Advertiser, March 14-15, 1998 Jenufa, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Tenor Michael Hendrick, as Laca, so good in previous seasons, tackles this demanding and dramatic role with strength and superior talent. He is superb. Bravo.”

Opera News, June 1998 Jenufa, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL, Performed in Czech “Michael Hendrick (Laca) brought plenty of vocal stamina, expressive weight and persuasive characterization to the production.”

Opera News, 1999 Of Mice and Men, Utah Opera Company, Salt Lake City, UT	“Michael Hendrick played Lennie as ‘just a big kid,’ in keeping with the composer’s stated intentions. His steady, secure tenor captured the young man’s physical power as well as	his innocence, most affectingly in the barn scene with Curley’s Wife, his large stature and boyish face adding to his believability.”

Opera News, 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“As the love-struck villager Levko, tenor Michael Hendrick mixed a malleable blend of	steel and velvet.”

Salt Lake Tribune, January 18, 1999 Of Mice and Men, Utah Opera Company, Salt Lake City, UT	“Michael Hendrick played Lennie as ‘just a big kid,’ in keeping with the composer’s stated intentions. His steady, secure tenor captured the young man’s physical power as well as	his innocence, most affectingly in the barn scene with Curley’s Wife, his large stature and boyish face adding to his believability.”

Deseret News, January 18-19, 1999 Of Mice and Men, Utah Opera Company, Salt Lake City, UT “Tenor Michael Hendrick was awe-inspiring as the half-wit Lennie. He brought the pathetic, gentile giant to life on the stage, and presented his struggle honestly and nobly. His clear, pure voice rang with guileless pathos, and he appeared to be about nine feet tall.”

Venice Gondolier, March 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL “The cast is headed by tenor Michael Hendrick. Levko is a personal triumph for Hendrick. His Act III "Serenade", filled with soaring head tones that demonstrated his strong vocal technique, received well-deserved bravos and prolonged applause.”

Newhouse News Service, March 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Singers made the opera memorable- especially the powerful but lyric tenor of Michael Hendrick- surely destined for stardom.

Sarasota Herald-Tribune, March 16, 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“As Levko, Michael Hendrick displayed a gorgeous tenor voice, capable of those dulcet pianissimi that melt the heart, as well as ringing, unforced tones in the upper register. He	brought down the house in Act III with the tender serenade just before the water spirits emerge from the lake.”

The East County Observer, March 25, 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL “May Night was a special treat for opera lovers, proving that opera definitely can be fun. Accolades must go to Michael Hendrick, whose rich tenor in the role of Levko, the mayor's son, dominated the production. He was by turn silly and sensitive at the appropriate moment and was completely captivating.”

The Longboat Observer, April 8, 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Michael Hendrick's tenor voice was strong and pure cream.”

This Month on Stage, Spring/Summer 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“Michael Hendrick brings a tender tenor to Levko’s role.”

Opera News, May 1999 Of Mice and Men, Utah Opera, Salt Lake City, UT	“Cast members were uniformly well-suited to their roles, musically and physically, and clear enunciation minimized dependence on projected titles. Michael Hendrick played Lennie as ‘just a big kid,’ in keeping with the composer’s stated intentions. His steady, secure tenor captured the young man’s physical power as well as his innocence, most affectingly in the barn scene with Curley’s Wife, his large stature and boyish face adding to his believability.”

L’Opera, Italy, May 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“As Levko, tenor Michael Hendrick showed a powerful, even voice with ringing high notes and a great sense of style... It was a triumph.”

Detroit News, May 11, 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“In tenor Michael Hendrick and the Choral Union of Ann Arbor's University Musical Society, prepared by Thomas Sheets, Rozhdestvensky enjoyed a vocal force that matched the DSO's glistening effort in all its discipline and all its splendid color.”

Opera Canada, Summer 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL	“In the pivotal role of Levko, tenor Michael Hendrick was outstanding, impressive for both his attractive, ample sound and convincing Slavic style.”

Opera, London, August 1999 May Night, Sarasota Opera, Sarasota, FL “Michael Hendrick brought a big voice and lots of style to the role of Levko... a winsome performance.”

The Arizona Republic, 2000 Of Mice and Men, Arizona Opera Company, Phoenix, AZ “Heading a powerful, unforgettable cast is tenor Michael Hendrick as Lennie Small. Hendrick projects an indefatigably naive figure, a character of kitten-like sanguiness capable of transformation into pantherish fury. Floyd gives him music equal to the sensibility, simply constructed but all over the range and very exposed. The score frequently calls for Lennie to pull high notes out of the blue, which Hendrick does with impeccable taste.”

The Arizona Citizen, 2000 Of Mice and Men, Arizona Opera Company, Tucson, AZ	“The Tucson Convention Center Music Hall crowd of 1,600 thundered its approval of the work, saving its most enthusiastic applause for tenor Michael Hendrick, who played the lumbering innocent Lennie. There were many great performances last night, chief among them Hendrick. Hendrick’s Lennie captured in the fullest sense the childlike innocence of this hulk of a man. In the opening scene, when George tells Lennie that despite the trouble he causes, George will stick by him, Hendrick dances around like a	four-year-old with a balloon. When the puppy that Lennie too vigorously strokes dies, Hendrick throws its lifeless corpse to the ground like a spoiled child. And when George tells Lennie at the close to look across the river and see the farm they’ll someday have, Hendrick’s fidgeting feet tell a tale of uncluttered, childlike joy. Vocally, Hendrick was impressive, sporting a big, warm sound from top to bottom, handily projected to the cheap seats.”

The Arizona Daily Star, February 12, 2000 Of Mice and Men, Arizona Opera Company, Phoenix, AZ	“Stellar vocal and dramatic performance by Michael Hendrick.”

The New York Times, January 18, 2000 Die Liebe der Danae, American Symphony Orchestra, Avery Fisher Hall, New York, NY	“The young tenor Michael Hendrick as Merkur did solid work.”

Intermission, 2001 Of Mice and Men, The Washington Opera, Washington, DC	“The loudest (ovation) was justly granted to tenor Michael Hendrick’s endearing portrayal of	the childish giant Lennie, who loves to stroke soft, furry things but never comprehends why they die under his unknowingly brutal caresses. Brilliant, subtle facial expression, clumsy walk and self-conscious hand gestures lent credibility to the character. Solid vocal technique and complete comfort with Floyd’s musical idiom made Hendrick’s performance compelling. No wonder Mr. Hendrick was chosen to receive the Washington Opera Guild’s 2001 Martin and Bernice Feinstein Artist of the Year award at the end of the season.”

Los Angeles Times, February 23, 2001 Carmen, Opera Pacific, Orange County, CA	“Hendrick sang… with a rich and subtle tenor that was particularly thrilling in the high range.”

Orange County Register, February 23, 2001 Carmen, Opera Pacific, Orange County, CA “Hendrick sings powerfully throughout, with intensity and a sense of dramatic build. Nice pealing high notes, security in the lower range, balanced, rounded- an engaged, viscerally connected reading. (He) gave the final act passion and fire.”

The New Mexican, July 2, 2001 Falstaff, Santa Fe Opera, Santa Fe, NM “A shining cast…Michael Hendrick was droll as the huffy, trumpet-toned Dr. Caius. If	looks could kill, the way he myopically inspected his rival Fenton from top to toe whenever they met would have put the young man into a basket.”

Opera News, August 2001 Susannah, Opera Carolina, Charlotte, NC	“…strong performance by Michael Hendrick as Sam… Hendrick brought vocal authority to his role. A satisfying evening of music drama.”

The Washington Times, October 27, 2001 Of Mice and Men, The Washington Opera, Washington, DC	“Stunning… the Washington Opera production stars two superb singer-actors in the lead roles…Tenor Michael Hendrick as Lennie gives what probably will be regarded as one of this season's great performances. He negotiated Lennie's difficult vocal part with only the slightest sign of strain during last week's premiere. From the standpoint of stage drama, he imbued his character with layers of complexity, joining extremely physical acting to a	surprisingly sweet tenor voice that makes Lennie's dark side all the more jarring. Mr.	Hendrick's Lennie is clearly good at heart but not in touch at all with normal human boundaries or appropriate behavior, or most particularly with his own strength. Like fellow ranch-hand Candy's worn-out old dog, which is finally put down by a co-worker, there is only one possible ending for a misfit such as Lennie… you'll have to experience this for yourself.”

Concertonet.com, April 22, 2003 The Rape of Lucretia, New York City Opera, New York, NY “Mr. Hendrick was most eloquent, his chatty, almost countertenor tessitura just perfect for a somewhat bitchy representative of the Fates.”

Opera News, July 2003 The Rape of Lucretia, New York City Opera, New York, NY	“Tenor Michael Hendrick sang with passion as the Male Chorus”

Metroland Online, July 25, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY	“Michael Hendrick, as Zivny, the composer, gained steam throughout the play to deliver a	shattering closing aria.”

Albany Times-Union, Sunday, July 27, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY “Heading the excellent cast was Michael Hendrick as the composer. With a strong tenor voice hinting at a wail, he was the picture of an intellectual confronted with a life of emotional suffering. His lengthy final aria was part life confession and part music lecture ("the dissonant chords of life beat on"). Though the metaphors wore a bit thin, it was a	fascinating coda that surely revealed some of Janacek's own thoughts.”

The Associated Press, July 28, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 	“Hendrick… gave highly polished accounts.”

New York Times, July 29, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY “The tessitura of this tough monologue seemed to suit Mr. Hendrick; after a couple of acts in which his voice sounded a little strained and grainy on top, he settled here into smoother and clearer singing.”

MusicalAmerica.com, July 29, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY	“From the opening of Act II Zivny dominates the stage, beginning gently and happily, singing quite tenderly as he recalls a loving letter he wrote to Mila and progressing to enraged self-reproach before the catastrophic closing moments. It might seem that there was nothing left to top the melodrama of that closing, but Janácek contrives an even stronger climax at the end of Act III, with Zivny's final convulsive outpouring. It's a solo scene lasting well over six minutes, and it takes everything a tenor's got to give. The tenor of the occasion handled it wonderfully: Michael Hendrick, a veteran of Chicago Lyric, Washington Opera, and New York City Opera, commanded both power and pathos, and in addition revealed, in earlier scenes and calmer moments, a marked sweetness of tone.”

Le Monde, August 2, 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY	“La fin et quelques autres endroits de la partition en étonneront plus d'un, mais, selon Leon Botstein, il n'est pas certain que Janacek ait totalement achevé la finition de son opéra.Le	chef d'orchestre américain a dirigé Osud avec un sûr engagement et réuni une très bonne distribution, dominée par la Mila de Christine Abraham et le Zivny de Michael Hendrick, tous deux parfaitement émouvants.”

New York Times, September 23, 2003 Carmen, New York City Opera “Mr. Hendrick sang with a sturdy voice and ample ardor.”

Opera News, October 2003 Osud, Bard Summerscape, Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY “Botstein cast very strongly. In the cruelly exacting high tessitura of the protagonist, Michael Hendrick revealed impressive stamina and an attractive, powerful "young	dramatic" voice ideally suited to leading Czech tenor roles.”

El Correo, Bilbao, Spain, November 17, 2003 Jenufa, Opera A.B.A.O., Bilbao, Spain "Michael Hendrick… canto con valentia y no exento de bello color." English translation: “Michael Hendrick,… sang with vigor and not lacking of beautiful color.”

ABC, Spain, November 17, 2003 Jenufa, Opera A.B.A.O., Bilbao, Spain “A idéntico nivel se movió el deslumbrante descubrimiento que supone Michael Hendrick como un Laca arrebatado.”

Concertonet.com, by Renoud Loranger, November 8, 2004, Ariadne auf Naxos, L’Opera de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada “Michael Hendrick possède une fort estimable voix de ténor héroïque, argentée et magnifiquement soutenue, et livre une convaincante interprétation de l’impayable Ténor/Bacchus.” English translation: “Michael Hendrick has a strong, estimable heroic tenor voice, silver plated and magnificently constant, and delivers a convincing interpretation of the invaluable Ténor/Bacchus.”

The Globe and Mail, by Alan Conter, November 8, 2004 Ariadne auf Naxos, L’Opera de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada “Bacchus, sung well by tenor Michael Hendrick”

The Gazette, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, by Arthur Kaptainis, November 8, 2004 Ariadne auf Naxos, L’Opera de Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada “Michael Hendrick performed Bacchus with a noble bearing and a trumpet tone. There are good tenors out there after all.”

The Salt Lake Tribune, January 24, 2005 Jenufa, Utah Opera, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA “Michael Hendrick (as Laca) who loves (Jenufa) but inflicts a disfiguring injury on her… A first class performance, and equal to a knockout in musical and emotional potency.”

Deseret Morning News, January 25, 2005 Jenufa, Utah Opera, Salt Lake City, Utah, USA “Tenor Michael Hendrick was wonderful. Hendrick’s portrayal is dynamic and poignant as he struggles with his jealousy and hatred of Steva and his passion for Jenufa.”

The Post-Standard, April 30, 2005 Madama Butterfly, Syracuse Opera, Syracuse, NY, USA LEAD SINGERS TAKE FLIGHT IN ‘BUTTERFLY’… LIM AND HENDRICK CARRY THE SYRACUSE OPERA PRODUCTION OF “MADAMA BUTTERFLY” “A pair of stellar singing and acting performances by the two principal roles helped Syracuse Opera's production of "Madama Butterfly" pack an emotional wallop. I only wish I owned the Kleenex tissue concession in the lobby… Michael Hendrick as Pinkerton has a powerful voice that loses no steam in its high register and that can soar well above Puccini's sizable orchestral accompaniment, as in his "Dovunque al mondo" of Act 1 and the "Love Duet".

The Washington Post, July 30, 2005 Beethoven: Symphony No. 9, The Baltimore Symphony, Baltimore, MD USA "...tenor Michael Hendrick... formed a foursome that scaled Beethoven's almost insurmountable vocal heights with mellifluous beauty, the voices nicely blended and well-balanced."

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, October 24, 2005 Ariadne auf Naxos, Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh, PA, USA "In Richard Strauss' opera about an opera, "Ariadne auf Naxos,", Michael Hendrick's Tenor was funny throwing hissy fits in the Prologue, but even funnier as an overly dramatic Bacchus in the opera. Soprano Jane Eaglen seems born for the role of the Prima Donna, and Hendrick's booming voice is a sure fit with Eaglen's."

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, October 24, 2005 Ariadne auf Naxos, Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh, PA, USA "The leading male roles are also magnificently performed. Tenor Michael Hendrick as Bacchus steps up to match Eaglen's soaring melodic lines at the end of the opera."

Salt Lake Tribune, December 19, 2005 Beethoven: Symphony No. 9, Utah Symphony Orchestra, Salt Lake City, UT USA "The other soloists... followed tenor Michael Hendrick's exuberant cue."

Syracuse Post-Standard, February 11, 2006 Verdi: Messa di Requiem, Syracuse Symphony Orchestra, Syracuse, NY USA _"Tenor Michael Hendrick has at his disposal a powerful voice easily capable of navigating Verdi's sometimes torturous soaring lines. His vocal color is pleasantly warm and, given its somewhat baritone-ish warmth, has surprising strength in the upper register. When it came time for the grand conclusion of this main tenor solo, he nailed it in a decisive and thrilling fashion."

The Huntsville Times, February 26, 2006 Verdi: Messa di Requiem, Huntsville, Symphony Orchestra, Huntsville, AL USA "Four guest singers filed on stage: soprano Kalley Nassief, mezzo soprano Marietta Simpson, tenor Michael Hendrick and bass Kevin Deas. All possess magnificent voices, gifts they put to excellent use on Verdi's 'Requiem'".
