"Mario Cavaradossi, lover to Tosca was brilliantly sung by tenor Benjamin Sloman. His first act aria “Recondita armonia” indicated a first rate tenor with a golden sound. His duet with Tosca (Christina Rohm) in the duet “Qual occhio al mondo” was sung with beauty and abandon. In the second act his screams were chilling and his cries of “Vittoria, Vittoria” filled Regina Hall like a lightning bolt of sound. His defiance toward Scarpia and his lackeys was inspiring. Sloman’s masterful, desperate and dreamy singing of “E lucevan le stelle” in the final act and his dramatic heartbreaking sob at the climax “E non ho amato mai tanto la vita” (I die hopeless and never have I loved life so much!”) was received with a thunderous ovation. Cavaradossi’s final duet with Tosca (Rohm) “O dolci mani” was once again a glorious blend. Benjamin Sloman has an ingratiating and manly stage presence ... his voice is exceptionally beautiful with superb breath control and a unique sense of phrasing. I see a very bright future for this promising tenor."
 - Nino Pantano (Brooklyn Eagle) / Tosca, Regina Opera, November 2010.

"True big voiced tenors are a very rare breed, but it appears that Australia has unearthed one here last night. Benjamin Sloman lifted the roof off the elegant Independent Theatre with a performance dripping with virile Italianate fire. This is a voice of staggering power and technical excellence, endowed with astonishingly clarion ring. His artistry was sophisticated and stylish and he managed to add nuance and pathos to a role which is generally crude and shallow. Without a doubt we will be hearing from this fine tenor for decades to come."
 - Thomas Howard (Australian Opera Review) / Cavalleria Rusticana, Sydney Lyric Opera, May 2009.

"... the voices on display were outstanding and would not have been out of place at any major venue in the world. The standout performer was the tenor, Benjamin Michael Sloman. A powerful and ringing voice who handled the difficult Verdi and Puccini scenes like a throwback to the great tenors of decades past. This young tenor ... will be a force to be reckoned with."

"(Sloman) let loose and almost shook the plaster off the ceiling"

"A magnificent tenor"
"A natural. Superb in the role"
"The voice is piercing"

"absolutely splendid voice ... Benjamin Sloman has a tenor voice so heroic and resonant"
- Harry Rolnick (ConcertoNet.com) / L'Amore dei Tre Re, Bleecker St Opera, October 2009

"Benjamin Sloman, as Avito, brought ardent passion to the doomed lovers' romantic duet, "È ancora notte fonda," an oasis of relative peace for the illicit pair, in Act One, and to "Oh! Fiora! Fiora! Sono Avito!," their duet, troubled and agitated, in Act Two, as their chance of being discovered loomed closer at hand. In the funeral scene, in Act Three, following "Morte in gelido stupore," in which an ensemble of eight eloquently mourned Fiora in grand, liturgical-style strains, Sloman offered an impassioned lament for his dead love before he took the fatal kiss from her lips"

"Benjamin Sloman sang Avito with an impassioned robust tenor... I highly recommend catching performances of this rarely performed piece"

"Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton was sung by Benjamin Sloman whose opening “Amore o grillo” showed a plangent pleasing tenor. Mr. Sloman joined by Ms. Goldgorin sang a thrilling love duet “Un po’ di vero c’e” with both joined together in a heavenly high C at its finale. Mr. Sloman was a remorseful Pinkerton in the final trio and sang “Addio fiorito asil” with intense abandon."
- Nino Pantano (Brooklyn Eagle) / Madama Butterfly, Gateway Classical Music Society, May 2010

"As Pollione, Benjamin Sloman was securely in command of the technical requirements of Bellini's opulent score. Throughout the performance he poignantly captured the anguish and misery of his situation with noteworthy power, vividly contrasting Pollione’s intense mix of emotions; from defiance to fury to tenderness. Sloman exuded manly, virile vocalism in the otherwise routine role of the Roman proconsul, frequently bathing the audience in gloriously ringing sustained notes ... the poignant final duet with tenor Benjamin Sloman [was] a triumph of enchanting persuasiveness."
- Gianfranco Casarini (Opera-L) / Norma, Riverfront Opera, July 2011
