Review Quotes
Der Kaiser - Die Frau Ohne Schatten
“Der Kaiser was sung by American tenor Issachah Savage with a golden-coloured, dramatically heroic voice that served to place his character apart from, and above the characters of the lower world. Savage had all necessary forces to surmount the extreme tessitura of his magnificent Act II monologue.”
OPERA TODAY, FEBRUARY 2024
“Issachah Savage returns to Theatre du Capitole as the Emperor, offering stellar high notes with ease, without any pressure.”
OLYRIX, JANUARY 2024
“American Issachah Savage ennobles the Emperor with an ideal Siegmund voice — his heldentenor is as supple as it is rich.”
CONCERTI, JANUARY 2024
“The Emperor of Issachah Savage, a tenor of almost supernatural breath control, of generous legato, of power, alongside a honeyed timbre and the inexhaustible poetic riches with which he adorns his Act II monologue.”

Gran Sacerdote di Nettuno - Idomeno
King Waldemar in Schönberg’s Gurrelieder
Title Role in Wagner’s Tannhäuser at Los Angeles Opera
“Issachah Savage managed best as Tannhäuser. The American tenor displayed a big, lyric sound—but most impressive was his German diction. This, along with his impassioned facial expressions, made for an intimate performance —his Tannhäuser felt and sounded like a truly emotive Lieder singer.”
