Berlioz Eight Scenes from Faust
ST. LOUIS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS

“Winograde’s role is small, but he made the most of it, investing it with character and singing with a gorgeous tone.”

Drago, Genoveva
BARD SUMMERSCAPE

“Joshua Winograde in the smaller part of Drago sang with a lovely bass.”

King, The Little Prince
TULSA OPERA

“There are small vignettes for many characters, each with little arias of their own: Joshua Winograde played a silly, power-hungry king with wit.”

Mephistopheles, Faust
OPERA SANTA BARBARA

“Bad guys make interesting characters, and Mephistopheles, as sung by bass-baritone Joshua Winograde, was no exception. Winograde endowed the devil with plenty of swagger and charisma, as he guided Dr. Faust on his worldly adventures.”

 “Mr. Winograde mocked, coaxed and manipulated Faust and his human company with great flair and ease, a devil-may-care characterization that cut across some of the mustiness of the libretto. But this singer’s rock-solid, resonant bass-baritone also rang out when necessary, reminding Faust and all of us that in the end, the devil will have his due.”

“Joshua Winograde’s wonderfully arch portrayal of Mephistopheles in Opera Santa Barbara’s production of Faust makes us like him despite ourselves—he’s having a lot more fun than most of the other characters, and he refuses to take their moralizing seriously. Winograde’s rich baritone is full of humor, as in the entire production.”

Title Role, Valpone
WOLF TRAP OPERA COMPANY

"Outstanding work was done by Joshua Winograde in the title role."

"Joshua Winograde, sporting wolfish eyebrows and mane...brought many a dynamic flourish to the title role."

"As his boss, the foxy Volpone, wildly coifed bass-baritone Joshua Winograde proved as rich in voice as he is in comic talent.  His phrasing and enunciation were masterful…”

Leporello, Don Giovanni
CHAUTAUQUA OPERA COMPANY

"Winograde, the audience favorite, brought spirit and humor to the part of Leporello...His ‘Catalogue Aria’ was especially glib, full of sly laughs.  His enunciation was splendid."

"Joshua Winograde was clearly an audience favorite, for his sparkling comic portrayal of Leporello."

Melisso, Alchina
NEW YORK CITY OPERA

"Joshua Winograde, a strapping bass-baritone, had a solid City Opera debut as Melisso."

"Baritone Joshua Winograde makes a solid debut as Melisso."

"Bass-baritone Joshua Winograde's Melisso is possessed of a dark-toned insight"

"Joshua Winograde sang Melisso...with a baritone both virile and sweet.""

"Baritone Joshua Winograde makes a solid debut as Melisso."

Leonidas, Lysistrata
HOUSTON GRAND OPERA

"Joshua Winograde is a dignified Leonidas, the Spartan general who's Lampito's husband, his bass-baritone nicely balancing clarity and depth."

"Joshua Winograde and Victoria Livengood upheld the vocal honors of Sparta as the general Leonidas and his wife Lampito."

"Bass Joshua Winograde sang Leonidas...with the right gravitas for a general who realizes the fruitlessness of war."

Pistola, Falstaff
HOUSTON GRAND OPERA

[Joshua Winograde sang] "powerfully and personably."

Osmin, Die Entführung aus dem Serail
HOUSTON GRAND OPERA

"Joshua Winograde is a blustering bully as Osmin but also a wonderful drunk when Pedrillo plies him with 'wine' -actually martinis. He brings a handsome, well-focused bass to the role"

"Osmin, the fundamentalist heavy in the Pasha's retinue, represented a coming of artistic age for bass Joshua Winograde, a second year member of the Houston Opera Studio. His finely turned singing and comic touches made Osmin enjoyable."

Skula, Prince Igor
HOUSTON GRAND OPERA

"Some of the finest vocalism comes in the minor role of Skula from a 'mere' HGO apprentice: Bass Joshua Winograde will be one to keep our ears on."
