Reviews
CARMEN - LAKE GEORGE OPERA (2010)
"Tenor Joshua Kohl is Don José, the love-struck soldier who goes AWOL for Carmen, finding himself trapped in a gypsy outlaw life. Kohl is a magnificent tenor who totally throws himself into this tortured role." - The Saratogian
"Tenor Joshua Kohl as Don José, the dragoon officer who falls for Carmen, held his own both in intensity and vocal artistry supported by a voice of ringing clarity. He had plenty of passion in his acting..." - The Daily Gazette
"To his credit, Joshua Kohl makes the man’s situation pathetic and his irrational behavior sad. His rich tenor makes his love-sick pleas plaintiff and touching. In the same vein Kohl makes Don José’s irrational actions almost understandable and the final tragic scene becomes inevitable." - Troy Record
