As Don José in Carmen
Orlando Philharmonic,February,2010
"Richard Troxell was a more-than-credible Don José, and he made the Act II Flower Duet one of the evening's highights."
Orlando Sentinel
Tenor Soloist,Opera Hamilton Popera
( Lenski's Aria) Tenor Richard Troxell interpreted the aria with all the pathos and doom endemic to a Russian story, even underling the mood with stance
and dramatic pauses. Super.
Ontario Arts Review
Tenor Soloist,Handel's Messiah
Pittsburgh Symphony, December,2009
"Page selected an impressive group of vocal soloists, beginning with tenor Richard Troxell.His opening recitative Comfort ye, my people
was beautifully declaimed,the essential point of entry to this masterpiece. Troxell established the rewarding style of vocal ornamention,
all of which was dramatically apt."

As de Grieux in Manon
Calgary Opera, November, 2009
"Richard Troxell made a fine dramatic partner for Paulin, the scenes with the two young lovers are natural and unforced, and the more passionate
scenes in the later part of the opera charged with strong emotion.Troxell has a fine voice which he uses intelligently, and if there is yet
another level of vocal finesse that might be achieved, it is possessed by very few Frenchstyle tenors presently before the public.
He was heard to the best effect in the mood-filled En fermant les yeux in the second act, a vocal highlight of the production.
He was also convincing in the more dramatic moments in the final two acts,both of the big duets succeeding admirably."

lively performances."

As the Duke of Mantua in Rigoletto
Portland Opera, May, 2009
"Richard Troxell [was] adept and beautifully impassioned as the Duke with the charm and persuasion of a Don Juan

Title Role in Zampa
Opéra Comique Paris December 2008
"Richard Troxell, l'Américain était un excellent Zampa,un vrai Corsaire et un acteur accompli, avec sa voix très
assurée de ténor lyrique et son jeu scénique irréprochable...Dans son interprétation de Zampa, le tenor convainc
incarnant parfaitement un personnage cynique, brutal,finalement pathéthique."
"Richard Troxell, the American, was an excellent Zampa, a real pirate and an accomplished actor with an assured lyric tenor voice
and an irreprochable stage presence. His interpretation of the role of Zampa is convincing,perfectly capturing the character of this cynical, brutal and
finally moving character.classiquenews.com 1/17/09
"...warmly applauded. Troxell is fine actor, and his blazing eyes and swashbuckling poses make him a credible devil... a fine top D with a diminuendo showed that he is no technical slouch"
Opera News
"The title role was taken by American tenor Richard Troxell...he's a dashing presence,a matinee idol with a big ringing voice."
The Boston Phoenix
Lyric Fest Concert A World of Friends
"Richard Troxell is one of the best, and most successful, graduates the Academy of Vocal Arts has produced--a globetrotting tenor with a great voice and a stage presence that makes him a perfect choice
for swashbuckling roles and arias like Rossini's La Danza. He's also an entertainer who clearly
enjoyed standing close to the front rows singing directly to the children."

As Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly
Opéra de Montréal
"American tenor Richard Troxell was handsome,ringing and thoroughly loathsome as Pinkerton"
Montréal Gazette
" Le ténor Richard Troxell reprend le rôle de Pinkerton-l'officier qui séduit et abandonne la petite-qu'il jouait dans le film de Frédéric Mitterand. La voix est encore belle, avec un aigu sûr, et le jeu est toujours vrai."
"The tenor Richard Troxell reprises the role of Pinkerton-the officer who seduces and abandons Butterfly-which he played in Frédéric Mitterand's film. The voice is still beautiful with a secure top, and the acting is still real and natural."
La Presse de Montréal
"Le ténor américain Richard Troxell,solide lieutenant Pinkerton,à la voix lumineuse,-il s'investit totalement,de l'amoureux inconstant aux regrets amers de l'homme marié-c'est précisément lui que nous retrouvons dans le film de Frédéric Mitterand."
"The American tenor Richard Troxell,a solid Lieutenant Pinkerton with a luminous voice, invests himself totally in the role from fickle lover to the bitter regrets of a married man--it is precisely he whom we recognize from Frédéric Mitterand's film."
