" Johannes Weisser (baritone) is magnificent with his bizarre, grotesque singing style across three octaves, from the deepest bass to falsetto, delivered with relentless power, while he portrays a long-haired bum with his grinning, pushy, deceitful, untrustworthy, and latently violent behavior. "

“Fast-paced and expressive, baritone Johannes Weisser stands out within the cast. Ready for battle, charged with vehemence, the singer brings a burst of radical energy to the front line of the soloists. In dialogue with his fellow performers, he manages to shape his vocal line with rich, dark vibrations—firm, varied, and marked by a notable charisma.”

“The undisputed master of the stage was Johannes Weisser in the role of the stern father Germont. He was the only one who commanded all vocal registers and possessed both the artistic authority and presence to truly embody his character and convey the music as dramatic text.”
Magnus Andersson, Klassekampen

“When the bass Johannes Weisser rose above the orchestral mass, one would have thought him an ancient figure emerging from the waves. “O friends!” he exclaimed with such authority that one thought one could feel the walls tremble.”
