​​​​​​​Michael Lapiña
Tenor
"The lively cast carry it well, though; the best moment of the night I saw was when Michael Lapina accidentally copped a whack in the goolies in a tangle with Gravenstein (performed with relish by Raggatt) and they had to contain their giggles. Lapina has a wonderful tenor voice, by his own admission almost too big for the space, and, interestingly, in his performance he embodied the role to the point where you could get a sense of real feeling."
Lyric Opera of Melbourne - Pomme D'api - The Australian Stage
"Michael Lapina is a colourful and entertaining Goro, using his expressive, cheeky face to great effect."
Melbourne Opera Company - Madame Butterfly - Theatre People
"Michael was in thrilling form, and Kate and Bruce, a G&S specialist, were also strong performers."
Lyric Opera of Melbourne - Pomme D'api - Stage Whispers
"Tenor Michael Lapina’s bell-like solos, as well as the guest appearance of Wesley College Elsternwick’s Petit Choir to sing a segment of the Credo, were particular highlights."
Camberwell Chorale - Naomi Johnson
"There are some great minor roles as well, Michael Lapina as Remendado was a stand out for me. His energy was apparent from the moment he stepped out onto the stage."

"Michael Lapina ... also impressed."

Leader News Paper - Apr 2008

Kevin Hillier - Apr 2008
