"Thom King portrayed Baron Scarpia, Roman Chief of Police, with dark, sardonic villainy. His accomplished acting and rich sonorous singing combined to make him the dominant figure in every scene he entered . . . Not one dramatic nuance, either written in the libretto or the music did he ignore, sealing a splendid performance."   (Shore Line Times)

(Tiempo Libre, Mexico)

"Thom King made a sonorous Capulet".  (Opera News)

"Carlo Gerard, as sung by Thom King, demonstrated a smooth dark baritone which King uses extremely well.
