| Felsenreitschule Salzburg – Der Freischütz - MAX |
| Luke Sinclair as Max with his powerful, brilliant tenor voice, shining especially in the dramatical heights, which are full of expression and passion, is truly captivating. Due to his stage presence his Max a seems authentical and multilayered. Sinclair’s interpretation makes the character’s desperation perfectly palpable and gives the role an enthralling depth. |
IOCO – Marcus Haimerl

| Luke Sinclair as Max is able to do both – spinning lyrically gentle phrasings and putting deeply dramatical power in his tenor voice. Even if he doesn’t entirely reaches the deep registers, his play is simply fantastic. |

| ...in impeccable German, Luke Sinclair, as sympathetically insecure Max reaches a stunningly heroic emphasis („Lebt kein Gott?“) with his basically light tenor voice. |

| Landestheater Salzburg - Lucio Silla - LUCIO SILLA |
| With his stout, yet lyrically appealing tenor voice Luke Sinclair plays a handsome young tyrant, who combines dangerousness with charisma. |

| Landestheater Salzburg - Die Fledermaus - EISENSTEIN |
| As the wonderfully narcissistic Eisenstein, Luke Sinclair is ideally cast, delivering vocally, but also acting. He has his dear need not only with Rosalinde, the wife of the gods, but also with the entire ensemble of singers with the red velvet curtain, which they eagerly use to play hide-and-seek – sometimes a head, sometimes a little leg peeks out or disappears. Little effort, a lot of laughter. It's almost completely possible without a stage set, so you know how. |

| In order to stay on the credit side, singing is generally good. Luke Sinclair is a tenorally radiant, trilingual Eisenstein, who, like the sovereign George Humphreys, who brilliantly sings his little brother song George Humphreys as Dr. Falke, is obviously very Anglophile and is allowed to use his mother tongue in between. |

| Especially the singers! ….from their first duet, George Humphreys as Dr. Falke and Luke Sinclair as Eisenstein impress. |

| Landestheater Salzburg - Faust - FAUST |
| Dressed in a gaudy late-baroque outfit, LUKE SINCLAIR has to climb the biggest ball, from where he sings his part, being shot during the second strophe. |
| OPERNGLAS 11/2022, H.C. Mayer |
| With his strong voice Luke Sinclair made the best out of his little cameo role as the singer in the first act. |

| Landestheater Salzburg - Faust - FAUST |
| In the title role, as Faust, the young English tenor Luke Sinclair conquered the audience with an unpretentious appearance, great musicality, round baritonal middle range and uninterrupted, subtly metallic and indeed radiant heights. |
| Gottfried Franz Kasparek Drehpunktkultur |
| Luke Sinclair as the beautiful and baritonally timbred title hero can be heard with soft lyricism, fine phrasing and effortless highs. |

| UC Opera - Polyeucte - POLEUCETE |
| Polyeucte is a role that lies in Brian Hymel territory and Luke Sinclair impressively met its demands for both lyricism and fearlessly pinging top notes. |
| Opera Magazine – Yehudo Shapiro |
| Opera Scotland - Les Mamelles de Tirésias – LE MARI |
| Luke Sinclair scored something of a triumph. He sang beautifully from start to finish, acted with style, had no problems with his French diction - including some treacherous snatches of dialogue - and looked cheerfully grotesque in drag. |
| Opera Scottland |
| Swansea City Opera - Lakmé - GERALD |
| As Gérald, Sinclair’s rounded tenor is first class, outstandingly so in his solo arias and duets with Barbu (Lakmé). |
| Barbara Michaels, Opera & Classical Review, Wales |
| There are first-class vocal performances in the three key parts...Luke Sinclair's Gerald is splendidly forthright dramatically as well as vocally. |
| Ron Simpson, The Reviews Hub |
| Luke Sinclair as Gerald gave a convincing portrayal of a man smitten by love and torn by duty. His strong and accurate singing throughout aptly portrayed his anguish and his love. |
| Jonathan Denny, The Keswick Reminder |
| Buxton Festival - POLYEUCTE |
| 'Polyeucte is a role that lies in Brian Hymel territory. Luke Sinclair, who is currently a member of the studio at the Opéra National de Lyon, impressively met its demands for both lyricism and fearlessly pinging top notes.' |

| Scottish Opera – The Fiery Angel MEPHISTHOPELES |
| "Mephistopheles, wonderfully sung by Luke Sinclair" |
| Catriona Graham, The Opera Critic |
| "Luke Sinclair made a very strong impression, relishing a frighteningly comic or comically frightening reading of Mephistopheles. He sang strongly and had great fun on his return from supposedly eating the waiter, gleefully licking the silver salver as though Salome were being played for laughs." |
| Opera Scotland |
| "An oily, sly Mephistopheles from Luke Sinclair." |
| David Kettle, The Daily Telegraph |
| "As welcome light relief, Luke Sinclair’s playful Mephistopheles, in a grey suit with scarlet tie and socks, wandered in for a drink playing cannibalistic games with a boy, Sinclair slyly grinning as he licked up the last remains on a meat tray with enthusiastic relish." |
| David Smythe, Bachtrack |
| Swansea City Opera - Macbeth - MALCOLM |
| "The impressive Luke Sinclair whose warm tone is ideal for the noble Malcolm" |
| Hervé König, Anaclase (French) |
| "Luke Sinclair is a ringingly heroic Malcolm" |
| Mike Wheeler, Music and Vision Magazine |
| "Having Malcolm in full battle regalia singing from a balcony box high up in the Opera House auditorium was a production whim that came off.....Luke Sinclair made a splendid Malcolm in his ‘bird nest’!" |
| Bernard Lee, Bernard Lee Music |
| "Luke Sinclair’s portrayal of a noble Malcolm at the end came over beautifully from a box high up on one side of the auditorium." |
| Mark Ronan |
| "It was an imaginative idea to have Luke Sinclair's Malcolm sung from a box and he gave a strong performance" |
| Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill |
| New Sussex Opera - Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe - SALI |
| "Sinclair is quite a find, a young tenor who combines a commandingly tall physique with an admirably secure tenor voice. His voice is also rather robust which brought a sense of vigour and action to Delius' vocal line......Sinclair gave us strong personality, commitment and a fine sense of energy and stamina (it is a pretty big sing)." |
| Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill |
| "The endearing Luke Sinclair makes a healthy sound as Sali-Romeo" Rupert Christiansen" |
| The Telegraph |
| "Tenor Luke Sinclair was buoyant and managed the high tessitura well, conveying Sali’s irrepressible impetuousness" |
| Claire Seymour, Opera Today |
| "As Sali, Luke Sinclair's ardour had a Pelleas-like directness. There is an edge and mobility to his tenor that would work well in Janacek, and he looked suitably innocent." |
| Peter Reed, Opera Magazine |
| "Luke Sinclair sings Sali with a sense of style and frequent lyrical beauty" |
| Brian Hick , Lark Reviews |
| "Tenor Luke Sinclair gave a sympathetic performance as Sali" |
| Alan Sanders , Seen and Heard International |
