Norman Shankle

"The other happy discovery is Norman Shankle, an Ernesto with an uncommonly warm and liquescent tenor. His last-act 'Com'è gentil' was gorgeous, as was the ensuing duet with Kucerova."

- The Dallas Morning News

 

"...clearly a singer to watch. His voice is limpid and strong, with plenty of vibrancy and heft, and his phrasing has an easy naturalness that makes a wide range of music come effortlessly alive." 

– San Francisco Chronicle

 

"Shankle is a real find, a singer of elegance, grace, and conviction."

– The Boston Globe
