Quirijn de Lang
As Gobineau in The Medium
“Quirijn de Lang sang the earnest grieving father Gobineau in a handsome baritone that did not want for sensitivity.”
Lesley Valdes,
Philadelphia Inquirer, 20/10/’98
Quirijn de Lang
As Pelléas in Impressions de Pelléas
(American Premiere), Philadelphia, March 1999
“More persuasive was Quirijn de Lang’s boyishly appealing Pelléas. De Lang acted with simple sincerity and sang handsomely.”
Robert Baxter,
Opera News July 1999
Quirijn de Lang
As Demetrius in A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Philadelphia April 2000
“The sturdy-voiced Dutch baritone Quirijn de Lang cuts a dashing stage figure and had the best English diction of the bunch.”
David Patrick Stearns,
Philadelphia Inquirer 26/4/’00
Quirijn de Lang
As Papageno in Die Zauberflöte
Enschede September 1999, Rotterdam June 2000
“The performance is made by the lithe and roguish Papageno of Quirijn de Lang. Our fellow-countryman, who studies in the United States, appears at his Dutch operadebut as a well-singing and infectiously acting theatre personality.”
Kasper Jansen,
NRC Handelsblad 30/8/’99
“A real discovery in this production is Quirijn de Lang in the Papageno-role. De Lang is not only blessed with a light, flowing baritone, but also with a flexible body and facial expressions that joined together in hilarious clowning.”
Franz Straatman, Trouw 30/8/’99
“Vocally it was Quirijn de Lang who gave the show its splendid lustre and speed. De Lang is a tremendous theatre personality and a young man with a splendid voice.”
Doron Nagan, Algemeen Dagblad 2/6/’00
"Avec mentions spéciales pour Papageno qui fait merveille sur le triple plan de la mimique, de l'exercise vocal et de la dépense physique."

Quirijn de Lang
As Steward in Flight
Hengelo November 2001
“Powerful is also the young Dutch baritone Quirijn de Lang. After the premiere he received the prize for best performance of the season, for his portrayal of Papageno in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, and he proves anew in Flight his unusual theatrical talent as a goodnatured, brute-horny, and eel-slippery steward.”

Quirijn de Lang
As Escamillo in La Tragedie de Carmen
Amsterdam June 2002
“Escamillo is, in the interpretation of the remarkable Quirijn de Lang a delicate, jogging young man, who surprisingly counters that vulnerability with his rich baritone voice and his irrepressible charisma.”
Kasper Jansen,
NRC Handelsblad 17/6/’02
Quirijn de Lang
Falstaff
“Rich and powerful singing by Quirijn de Lang, as Ford”

Quirijn de Lang
Ariadne auf Naxos
Vlaamse Opera
“Als goede bijrol viel vooral de jonge Nederlandse bariton Quirijn de Lang op.”
Willem Bruis,
De Standaard 20/9/’05
“But the ensemble is tight, and the supporting parts – Quirijn de Lang’s suave Harlequin and Susan Atherton’s delectable Dryad are worth singling out – both well cast and well drilled.”
Neil Fischer,
The Times 27/6/’07
Quirijn de Lang
Rembrandt de Musical
“Gisteren bleek hoe Rembrandt de Musical zal klinken. Quirijn de Lang, die zijn weldoener Jan Six zal spelen, zong de titelsong; melodieus, pakkend en welluidend gezongen.”
Het Parool, 25/4/’06
Quirijn de Lang
Attima
“Naast haar schittert Quirijn de Lang als Kartono. Zijn bariton heeft een mooi timbre en elk woord is verstaanbaar en hij is overtuigend in zijn afgunst en liefde. Zijn verschijning maakt het echter minder overtuigend dat Attima juist hem in de dans en in het verhaal laat vallen.”
Theatercentraal 26/5/08
Quirijn de Lang
Secret Marriage
“Individual honours go to Quirijn de Lang’s dashing, self-serving but sympathetic Count Robinson, who effortlessly puts the comic in timing.”
the Times 10/10/08
“Quirijn de Lang's Count Robinson has a touch of Hugh Grant in his well-bred manners."
The Stage 13/10/08
Quirijn de Lang
Beatrice di Tenda
“Een ontdekking in het belcantorepertoire is de bariton Quirijn de Lang in de rol van Filippo met zijn Verdi-achtige karakteristieken. De Lang heeft een kernachtig borst- en stralend kopregister en op het toneel is hij als een vis in het water.”
