“…the story of Carmen is told through the music, and the cast was excellent. [Julie}Nesrallah’s sultry passion was countered beautifully by Richard Troxell’s more earnest but lyrically expresssed passion and desperation. His aria of love to Carmen in the second act was heart-wrenchingly beautiful.”

“Richard Troxell was one of the better Don José’s I have heard. The moment when he tells Carmen how miserable he was in prison and how the flower that she gave him was the sole solace that he had was so intensely emotional that I for one was deeply moved.”
Dan Wolfe, Classical Voice of New England
