Adam Kiss Reviews
Ralph Malachowski
"Adam Kiss as Leporello was outstanding! He commanded the stage with presence and fine singing. Mr. Kiss (as did others in this production) triumphed over incoheren direction which made them sing under the most inhospitable conditions. Mr. Kiss as Leporello, for instance, was at one point required to drag himself from the wings to centerstage while lying down using only his elbows before launching into an aria. When Leporello exchanges clothes with his master, Mr. Kiss looked dashing in his Pierrot costume. It was the best looking costume that evening."
"Adam Kiss was a crowd-pleasing Leporello, very much in the buffo-basso tradition-he certainly delivered the goods."

"Tall, burly, sonorous bass Adam Kiss conveyed a blustery yet sometimes-sympathetic Bartolo, with a self-important “A un dottor della mia sorte” and surprising ease in the fast sections."

“Kiss’s every unfaltering note was able to strike the bottom of the audience’s heart. His singing brought the characters in Macbeth to life and provided an outline of the tragic yet soul-stirring story. Like Hunt, Kiss gave a vibrant performance in his last song, “Where Is The Life That Late I Led?” from Kiss Me, Kate, acting out the frustration when the character’s newlywed wife refused to kiss him at their wedding.”

“Bass Adam Kiss was Leporello, bringing vivid humor and fear into his voice.”
Peter Dobrin
“Adam Kiss was a sonorous Commendatore, repeatedly materializing to his bereft daughter, and even in the opening bars, onstage with a small boy (at a piano): Leopold Mozart and little Wolfgang.”
Susan Gould
“Bass Adam Kiss acted well as Leporello.”
Cameron Kelsall
