OPERA REVIEWS
FIGARO
Le nozze di Figaro
Opera Columbus
COUNT ALMAVIVA
Le nozze di Figaro | Indianapolis Opera
“On the aristocratic level, Jorell Williams strode the stage with an air of command, and sang accordingly. He played the Count as someone used to privilege and ready to exercise it, but also sensitive enough to own up to his cruelty to his wife, the Countess..." - Upstage
FIGARO (Title Role)
Le nozze di Figaro | Opera Columbus
“Figaro’s “Non più andrai” – hit with the full prismatic range of emotions, Williams giving it the best read of my memory, teasing and rapturous.” - Columbus Underground
DON GIOVANNI (Title Role)
Don Giovanni | Opera Columbus
"The brilliant cast, under Summer's direction, made the most of those boxes... Jorell Williams' Don Giovanni seducing Zerlina (Aryssa Leigh Burrs), against the walls of their respective boxes... [was] one example of the action rippling with uncanny electricity." - Columbus Underground
ESCAMILLO
Carmen
Pacific Opera Victoria
ESCAMILLO
Carmen | Pacific Opera Victoria
"Jorell Williams as Escamillo was understated, rather than the strutting-peacock showing off for the crowds, he was gentle and amiable, with a vocal warmth that was seductive and beautiful."
- Schmopera
CAPTAIN CORCORAN
H.M.S Pinafore | Caramoor International Music Festival
"Jorell Williams was endearing as Captain Corcoran, with a burnished vocal tone and a deadpan comic style." - The New York Times
ALEXANDRE
La Ville Morte | Greek National Opera (Greek Premiere)
“As Alexander, Jorell Williams’ lustrous baritone and abundant acting chops provided the opera’s only bit of levity. His commanding presence contributed to a sorely needed sense of place.” — Ear Relevant
