Richard’s performance as Dan Leno in Elizabeth Cree is
“… one of the finest performances you’ll ever see on an opera stage.”
Chicago Classical Review.
“Best of all was tenor Richard Troxell, who set aside his usual diet of Pinkertons and Don Josés for a truly knockout character performance as low comedian Dan Leno. Troxell was at his considerable best in an amusing travesti bit as a suspicious auntie on the trail of Bluebeard; a nod to the historical Leno deftly incorporated by librettist Campbell.” Opera News.
“… Troxell walked away with his every scene as the music hall comedian Dan Leno.” Chicago Tribune.
“Troxell excelled singing the role of comedian Dan Leno. With a wide range of tone colors in his vocal arsenal, he easily shifted musical styles from the ironical and extroverted music hall number with the big waltz boom-chuck-chuck of ‘What’s going on down below, Mr. B.’ to the somber lyricism of ‘O Woeful World.’” OperaWire.com.
“…. the outstanding tenor Richard Troxell fully inhabit[ed] the role, dialect and all.” BachTrack.com.
Ben Brant
ley of the New York Times says Troxell is “smashing!”
“Every so often…. a whiff of the ‘wonderful mystical magical miracle’ (to borrow a phrase from Leona) stirs the air. It comes whenever Mr. Troxell opens his mouth to sing, with a captivating melodic suppleness in the only numbers here that evoke Rodgers the sweeping romantic balladeer.” (Do I Hear A Waltz, New York City Center, May 2016)
