«Elmar Hauser potrays the Persian ruler Tamasse as a complex character, letting him oscillate between irascibility, vulnerability and compassion.»
Tagesspiegel, 28.02.26

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,

«Hauser's voice shimmers sensually, winding its way through lush lines, ornaments and messa di voce effects on a sovereign breath.»

«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.»
Süddeutsche Zeitung, 25.10.22
«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
«Elmar Hauser lets his light and natural sounding countertenor shimmer through the room like an archangel in the part of (...) Michael.»
