Reviews
Cloudstreet State Opera of South Australia
“Nicholas Cannon, as his brother Quick, creates the complexity of a young man who initially lives in his brother’s shadow only to become his carer and close friend; there is a warmth and sincerity to his performance” Greg Elliott - In Daily May 2016
“As the Lamb brothers Nicholas Jones and Nicholas Cannon and as their love interest Rose, Desiree Frahn, are actor-singers who could wring tears out of a stone and certainly did with the world premiere Adelaide audience.” Diana Simmonds - Stage Noise May 2016
​
“Cannon, in particular, flourishes in embracing these features of Australian speech, crafting a nuanced performance as Quick Lamb”
Jane Howard - The Guardian May 2016
​
The Magic Flute State Opera of South Australia
“Nicholas Cannon brings to birdman Papageno an easy charm and comic timing”
Ewart Shaw - The Adelaide Advertiser February 2016
​
“Nicholas Cannon took on the birdcatcher role of Papageno with comic zeal”
Graham Strahle - The Australian February 2016
