“An impressive breakthrough for Richard Hamrin. This poignant monologue is one long virtuoso number, and when he steps out into the dark night in the final scene we have witnessed an impressive breakthrough.”
Bo Löfvendahl / Svenska Dagbladet / 2020
Guglielmo / Cosi fan tutte / Mozart

“…the next big star on the stage, Richard Hamrin's Guglielmo, who is of the volcanic stage type, the one you follow because he seems to be carrying around an eruption.”
Gunilla Brodrej / Expressen / 2021
Pluto / Orfeus i Underjorden / Offenbach

“Richard Hamrin can make everything around him pale just by throwing a glance, in Folkoperan's Threepenny Opera, as well as now as Pluto, the God of Death.”
Hanna Höglund - Expressen
