| Theater Münster - Der Schmied von Gent - SMEE |
| "His cunning, rather dodgy opponent Garrie Davislim as Slimbroek is also brilliant." |
Deutschlandfunk
deutschlandfunk.de |
| "Smee’s rival Slimbroek was sung by Garrie Davislim, not with a noble tenor voice like we heard in Parsifal in Bayreuth, but with a mocking timbre, when he makes fun of Smee’s misery, while convincingly paying the boozer." |

| Stadttheater Bielefeld - La Bohème – RODOLFO |
| "Another guest was Garrie Davislim; with glaze and rage in his voice, he sings himself ( and others!) through this magnificent evening, taking his friends by their shoulders, honestly talking to them, looking them in the eye: Come on my friend, play! This is our lifelong dream!" |
| OPERNWELT 03/22, Arno Lücker |
| "Garrie Davislim in the part of Rodolfo also earned great public acclaim. He also had jumped in on this evening for an indisposed colleague and saved the scheduled Bielefeld premiere. He sang his well-known aria „Che gelida manina…“ with lots of emotion and glaze in his voice , which is secure in the high registers. The audience thanked him with spontaneous applause. Also in the further course of the opera, his portrayal of Rodolfo was convincing, both vocally and dramatically, touching and full of enthusiasm." |
Opernmagazin

| "Furthermore, the soloist’s line-up succeeded in creating numerous highlights. The shortly before engaged guest Shelly Jackson and Garrie Davislim as Mimi and Rodolfo are a top level dream couple. Garrie Davislim convinces as love-glowing, yearning Rodolfo with melodious glaze in his voice. …. In their duets Shelly Jackson and Garrie Davislim perfectly harmonize and therefor create one musical highlight after the other." |

| "Garrie Davislim, who had also jumped in for an indisposed colleague can easily compete with her. Sparing overly ostentatious, tenoral virility, he rather gave an introvert protagonist sung with delicately shading colors. " |
| Christoph Guddorf |
| Theater Münster - Candide - CANDIDE |
| "In the title role we could see and hear Garrie Davslim. With his velvet-like middle voice, maybe some slightly too shallow heights and a very present piano, he gave a humorous interpretation of the role." |
| M. Lode-Gerke, Das Opernglas , Oktober 2021 |
| Theater Münster – Die Liebe zu den 3 Orangen - PRINZ |
| "Not only played Garrie Davislim the role of the Prince with enthusiasm, he also succeeded in showing the extent of his tenoral abilities: whiny as sick man ( also when he only used his whiling voice alone), precise in the long bursts of laughter with Prokoviev’s terce main motif from Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony. Finally, he brilliantly caricatured the helden tenoral outbursts in the love duet with Ninetta." |

| Theater Münster - Street Scene – SAM KAPLAN |
| "Tenor Garrie Davislim in the role of Sam Kaplan, who’s in love with Rose, apologized for being indisposed. However, one could hardly tell he was – Maybe he succeeds in singing the style mixture even better in full strength. " |

| "In this four- acts version of the opera, the title hero sees himself confronted with a lot of singing, but not the most effective songs ( these are sung by the lower voices): the new tenor oft he house, Garrie Davislim makes a virtue of necessity and variationally sings with his homogeneously trained voice without showing off.
