“As
the evangelist Blitch, American bass-baritone Kristopher Irmiter easily

“Opposite her as the ‘heavy’ is bass-baritone Kristopher Irmiter as
Rev. Olin Blitch, whose unctous first lines while introducing himself,

the challenges, including the fire and brimstone sermons, reinforcing
this view. But another side of his character emerged when he
approched Susannah alone at her cabin, first seeking her repentance,
but then confessing his own human needs and seducing her.”
-The News (Ontario)
“with his dark, focused timbre, Kristopher Irmiter turned something
close to ordinariness into something both scary and credible”
-The Tronto Globe and Mail
“as Olin Blitch, Kristopher Irmiter’s strong bass-baritone made his remorse telling”
-Opera News
