AS DEATH IN SAVITRI - MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM
“Bass-baritone David Weigel, dressed in a long army coat and helmet, was an aptly imposing, mahogany-voiced Death.”
- Opera News, Georgia Rowe
“In the title role, soprano Kelsea Webb gave a gorgeous performance, marked by magnificent urgency and tenderness, and she was well matched by bass-baritone David Weigel — bold and imposing in the oracular phrases Holst wrote for Death — and the sweet-toned tenor Addison Marlor in the too-small role of Satyavan.”
- San Francisco Chronicle, Joshua Kosman
“…the bedrock-deep intonations of bass-baritone David Weigel as the voice of Death in Savitri…”
“Singing from the back of the Conservatory’s theater, Weigel gave Death’s long phrases an ominous, sustained authority.”
“Minutes later, even as he was retreating, Weigel found a weighty solemnity in Death’s exit.”
- San Francisco Classical Voice, Steven Winn
“Death was sung by David Weigel, whose stentorian bass-baritone has great power and elegance.”
- Berkley Daily Planet, James Roy MacBean
