| DATELINE NEW YORK: Opera singers from Ukraine earn bravos
by Helen Smindak Youth and exuberance play a great role in the career of Misha Didyk, the leading tenor of the Ukrainian National Opera of Kyiv who has just completed his second-season turn with the New York City Opera. As he gains greater expertise, confidence and depth of feeling, he is certain to rise ever higher in public favor and reviewers' esteem. At age 35, Mr. Didyk has already been greeted with enthusiasm in Ukraine, Russia, Finland, Puerto Rico, Israel and the United States. He will go on to Tokyo in December to sing in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and then to France in January to sing Macduff in the Opera de Marseilles' production of "Macbeth." In March and April next spring, he will return to the United States for a second engagement with the Opera Company of Philadelphia. A dashing fellow whose handsome good looks add much to the roles he sings, whether it be the Duke in "Rigoletto" or Pinkerton in "Madama Butterfly," the Ukrainian tenor has been reaping rewards for his Mediterranean voice and great stage presence wherever he appears. |

| Gothenburg, Sweden: Queen of Spades ( September 2003)
The tenor Misha Didyk is most convincing as Herman. Through absolute sensitivity of tone he catches the two sides of the part, the combination of total insecurity and total obsession. Without using any expressionistic exaggerations free reins are given to the romantic, which provides air and space to the voice. Magnus Haglund GoteborgsPosten 15.09.03 At this point Herman�s part grows into its maximum, carried in a completely convincing way by questing tenor Misha Didyk from Ukraine (evidently a ground for great singing - voices). His light voice sounds magnificently, keeping itself in full intensity all the way up in the register, most rarely heard today. He also develops the soft sides of his role, the hesitance, the resignation, the glowing love and the extravagant intoxication in his madness of gambling. His sudden death is not what the librettist had expected� Jan-Axel Axelsson Boroas Tidning 16.09.03 The Ukrainian tenor Misha Didyk made an excellent stage personality of Herman and was also for this part a splendid choice of singer from the opera management. In the final of the second act and at the beginning of the third act two of them (including Marianne Schell as the old countess) contributed in creating an intensive music drama of very high quality. Sven Andersson Hallands Nyheter 19.09.03 The performance holds an impressing vocal standard throughout with the cast toppedby the Ukrainian tenor Misha Didyk � who to the splendor and brilliance of hisvoice adds credibility as well as insight and expressiveness full of nuances.

| In SFO 2006-2007 Grieux, Chevalier des - Manon Lescaut |
| Didyk doesn't sound quite Italian enough, and his acting is a little self-conscious -- especially compared with that of his leading lady -- but in general, this was a courageous and highly successful assault on a nearly impossible role.
The composer was so inexperienced, he overwrote his orchestration, so that the poor tenor not only has multiple difficult high notes but has to sing over a colorful wash of sound. With Donald Runnicles in the pit, giving no quarter as usual, Didyk responded heroically./ Review-SFO Manon Lescaut 2006 |
