Their Majesties - Prague Early Music Summer Festival (CZ) 2025
"When countertenor Pieter de Praetere launched into his first aria, the cosmos of early music opened like a treasure chest. Pieter de Praetere remained one of the essential forces during the concert, a versatile (sensitive, coaxing, boldly cooing, supple, but also with a magnificent golden-bronze depth) and a sensuous interpreter."

The Fairy Queen / Dido -  Il Gardellino - Concertgebouw Amsterdam (NL) 2025
"The first performance in the night scene from the second act of The fairy queen was enchanting by the soprano Alison Lau. (...) In an excellent mise-en-scène this was met with compelling interplay from mezzo Sophie Gallagher and the Belgian countertenor Pieter de Praetere as Secrecy. A cool scene, which was followed in quality by the famous Drunken Poet scene, also a brilliant role for the playful Pieter de Praetere."

Einladung Zur Enthauptung - Reaktorhalle München (DE) 2024
"The singing roles are solidly cast throughout, but countertenor Pieter De Praetere clearly stands out as Pierre: vocally and also in the playful implementation between ingratiating cell neighbors and crazy system lackeys." 
(Donaukurier, february 2024)

Mitridate, Re di Ponto - Grand Manège de Namur (BE) 2024
"Discreet, but very honest, the countertenor Pieter de Praetere gives (...) all the felonious and indecisive relief to the rebellious son Farnace, with, in addition, the appropriate theatrical conviction."

Musick For a While, Festival Itinéraire Baroque Périgord (FR) 2024
"The Yellow Tour begins with 40 minutes of music bursting with urgency and articulacy from counter-tenor Pieter De Praetere who combines theatricality with a cut-glass tone without being overly flamboyant. His considerable energy worked well with oboist and recorder player Nele Vertommen."
(Toroughly Good, August 2024)

We, The Drowned - Marstal (DN) 2020
"The singing is more convincing than any acting to express solidarity. It returns at every turning point in the performance. As if it happens naturally one voice -countertenor Pieter De Praetere- always stands out to articulate the narrative. Choir and cantor, a centuries old motif that naturally ties in with centuries-old seafaring."
