Reviews
Into The Woods State Opera of South Australia
"Nicholas Cannon ... brought all the charm and charisma needed for the roles of Cinderella’s Prince...
Cannon also played the Wolf and his smooth voice and suave, yet creepy, characterisation of the role was excellent."
Ben Stefanoff - Glam Adelaide August 2026
​
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
