Reviews
L'ELISIR D'AMORE - KNOXVILLE OPERA (2014)
"As the naïve bumpkin Nemorino, who is helplessly in love with Adina, tenor Joshua Kohl was the vocal standout of the evening. The clarity of his voice throughout his range was impressive and satisfying, as was his surprising power at moments of lovelorn anguish. Dramatically, he was quite successful in creating an appealing and sympathetic character, as well as showing the conflict between passivity and romantic determination. Needless to say, he made the opera’s signature aria, “Una furtiva lagrima,” exceedingly memorable, as it should be." - MetroPulse
"A country boy named Nemorino, sung to buffoonish perfection by Joshua Kohl, falls hopelessly in love with a wealthy landowner named Adina, sung by the sexily coy Stefania Dovhan." - UT Daily Beacon
