Critical reviews

 

 

 

 

Of Richard's performances of the role of Dulcamara in 'L'ELISIR D'AMORE':

"Heritage Opera teased character from its lead singers - bass-baritone Richard Woodall, a gaudily-frocked giant Dulcamara, provided laid-back wit and he was impressive in the high tessitura of this buffo role." (Roderic Dunnett, Opera Now)


Of Richard's performances of the role of Figaro in 'The Barber of Seville':


"The overall standard of performances was very high indeed with a splendidly comic Barber played by Richard Woodall, who weaved in and out of deeply complex musical patterns with utter ease." (Kingsbridge Gazette)


"Richard Woodall played a fine Figaro, strong in voice, and with a suitably engaging personality." (Plymouth Evening Herald)



Of Richard's performances of the role of Papageno in 'THE MAGIC FLUTE' -

"Richard Woodall makes for a very jaunty Papageno with engaging stage presence and a fine and sprightly tone to match." (What's On in London)

"Papageno's role is, of course, a scene-stealer, and Richard Woodall fills the bill, wheeling his supermarket trolley/bird-cage with as much panache as he wields his fine-grained voice." (Hampstead and Highgate Express)

"...a little gem of a performance as the comic hero Papageno by Richard Woodall." (Camden New Journal)


As Leporello in 'DON GIOVANNI' for London Opera Players -

"A notable performance from Richard Woodall as a gawky, cynical Leporello..." (Chelmsford Echo)


Of Richard's performances of the role of the Viceroy in Offenbach's 'La Perichole':


"Richard Woodall put extra comic gloss into the show as an extremely funny Viceroy." (Hertfordshire Advertiser)
