Reviews
RIGOLETTO - Baltimore concert opera (2016)
"Joshua Kohl’s tenor voice is spot-on as the licentious Duke of Mantua. His command of the character is evident in every note. Fearlessly tackling notes that would give a lesser vocalist the shivering fits, he’s skillful and accomplished. The best-known piece of music from the production is undoubtedly “La donna è mobile.” Kohl does a fine job with it, even though I was holding my breath to see if he would hit that infamous high note that comes just before the end of the piece. He not only hit it, he nailed it to the gilded ceiling. The audience cheered for that, and he deserved every kudo." - MD Theatre Guide
