as Father Superior in La Favorite with Academy of Vocal Arts (2020)
"Balthazar (the rich-voiced and nuanced bass Eric Delagrange)...”
- Susan Gould, Opera Lounge
"...beautifully toned and resonant..."
as Don Basilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia with The Princeton Festival (2023)
"Eric Delagrange was Rosina’s hypocritical music teacher, Don Basilio, sung with a beautifully toned and resonant, lyric bass. He played the small but sinister role brilliantly as an absolute lunatic, eccentric and animalistic, reminiscent of Paul Thomas Anderson’s haunted protagonists."
- Courtney Smith, Njarts.net
"...genuinely cannon-like resonance..."
as Don Basilio in Il barbiere di Siviglia with The Princeton Festival (2023)
"The same goes for young bass Eric Delagrange, who brings a genuinely cannon-like resonance in Basilio’s famous aria about slander—quite extraordinary for a low-voiced singer”

"His superb bass cuts like a murderous hail of bullets..."
as Max's Shadow in Der Freischütz with Heartbeat Opera (2019)
“Dominating the long, confusing final scene is Max’s Shadow (a superb Eric Delagrange in both casts) commanding the action like a deus ex machina. Delagrange overcomes the weirdness of his character’s out-of-time getup and frightful demeanor with warm, intense singing as he writhes his way out of the confusion–ours and the other characters’–to finally wrestle a conclusion to the tale. His superb bass cuts like a murderous hail of bullets, as this always relevant yet infrequently produced supernatural yarn spins its last yard.”
- Jon Sobel, BlogCritics

- David Shengold, Opera News
as King René in Iolanta with Russian Opera Workshop (2019)
"...a powerful, attention-getting voice."
as Thibaut d'Arc in Maid of Orleans with Russian Opera Workshop (2019)
"Eric Delagrange, billed as a bass-baritone, sounded more like the latter than the former—it’s a powerful, attention-getting voice."
- David Fox, Parterre Box
