Press


Philharmonie de Paris - Wagner - Siegfried - Mime

Andreï Popov se révèle un Mime truculent à souhait, sans gestuelle outrancière ni voix ridiculisée avec excès, se servant du texte pour donner tout son piquant au personnage.


Claire-Marie Caussin , Forum Opera

Philharmonie de Paris - Wagner - Siegfried - Mime

Après un premier acte légèrement engorgé, Popov fait de nouveau des prouesses en Nibelung retors, trouvant le juste milieu entre art vocal et jeu scénique.


Tristan Labouret , Bachtrack

Aix-en-Provence Festival - Prokofiev - The Fiery Angel - Mephistopheles / Agrippa

Andreï Popov campe un Méphistophélès, et de manière plus retenue un Agrippa von Nettesheim, de saltimbanque. Il se donne en spectacle, de manière outrancière et outrageante, mobilisant un organe sonore et ductile jusqu’au cri. Le timbre est doré comme une icône orthodoxe.


Florence Lethurgez , Olyrix

Aix-en-Provence Festival - Prokofiev - The Fiery Angel - Mephistopheles / Agrippa

 and the surprise packet of the evening was Andrei Popov, whose voice ran rings around the tricky interventions of Agrippa and then blew us away with his entry as Mephistopheles: this is yet another opera where the devil gets the best lines.


David Karlin , Bachtrack

Aix-en-Provence Festival - Prokofiev - The Fiery Angel - Mephistopheles / Agrippa

Auch alle weiteren Partien bis hin zum hervorragenden Chor sind in dieser musikalisch und szenisch überaus geschlossen wirkenden Produktion hervorragend besetzt. Besonders Andrei Popov in den Rollen von Mephistopheles und Agrippa von Nettesheim,

à la présence forte que l’excellent Andreï Popov (Méphistophélès et Agrippa), excellent ténor de caractère, à la voix bien projetée, à l’émission claire,

surtout, remarquable Inquisiteur, Andrei Popov, Agrippa von Nettesheim et Méphisto mordant.

Paris National Opera - Borodin - Prince Igor - Yeroshka, a gudok-player

mais les deux soudards d'Adam Palka et Andrei Popov sont parfaitement appariés, apportant à l'épopée sa touche bouffonne.
