«Elmar Hauser sings the main role with a bright, natural timbre and much taste. It is astonishing, how this vocal fach has developed in the last decades.»
Abendzeitung München, 20.03.23
‘The star of the evening is countertenor Elmar Hauser as Hanno Buddenbrook (...), who sings with a youthfully clear, enchantingly timbred voice.’

Achilles is hidden among girls on the island of Skyros because his parents were prophesied that he would die in the war. (...) Elmar Hauser, with a wonderfully relaxed countertenor, is this young,
androgynous, perhaps still pubescent man who, with his long hair, looks a bit like Brad Pitt in ‘Troy’.»

«If it were up to vocal colours, Jason and Medea would be the ideal, symbiotic couple, from the beginning of this opera to its end. For the countertenor Elmar Hauser and the mezzo-soprano Fee Suzanne de Ruijter almost merge into one voice in their duets, both singing wonderfully clear, straightforward, their semi-dark timbres coming together brilliantly, it is an abolute pleasure to listen to this sound and this skill.»

«The performances of the young, beguilingly lyrical countertenor Elmar Hauser as the gay Buddenbrook rebel are among the highlights of the evening.»
«Elmar Hauser is this Mephistophelian goblin and bon vivant
the lobby of the Hotel Heaven and the Depth. He's already taking this job
sometimes cynical and rude, but above all tender, gallant and seductive."
Neue Musik Zeitung, 20.09.23
