Reviews

“The vocal standard of Joseph Evans is exemplary. He is, physically and vocally the personification of the writer [Aschenbach], of the intellectual ‘severed from life, art and age’ according to Kokkos; he who marches towards death in a manner of doubt and his death is one of the great dignified moments of opera.”

La Liberté de l’est

Seattle Opera has witnessed many fine dramatic performances over the years, but few so emotionally and intellectually captivating as Joseph Evans’s ‘Starry” Vere.

Seattle, Theodore Duncan

“Tenor Joseph Evans…brought [Garcia] to life with focused intensity and dramatic immediacy. Evans’s final mad scene, a musically start setting accompanied by drums and vague offstage voices, was a powerful high point of the evening, dramatically brave and vocally sure.”

Opera News, Judith Malafronte
