  Miranda Heggie, The Arts Desk, August 09 2019

  11 Mar 19 BRITTEN The Rape of Lucretia
  Boston Lyric Opera

  “Bass-baritone Brandon Cedel sang the role of Collatinus with a cavernous voice. Yet he proved a tender and comforting presence to O’Connor’s Lucretia when he learns of her rape, his smooth lines imbued with affection, grief, and understanding.”
  Aaron Keebaugh, Boston Classical Review, March 12 2019
  

  “Collatinus’s (Brandon Cedel) sonorous bass-baritone swelled through the cavernous performance space. His artistry was evident in his conspicuous but subdued pride for his wife’s virtuous character and in the way he wrapped his voice around her in comfort and support in the aftermath of her ordeal.”
  Alexandra Sourakov, The Tech, March 21 2019
  

  “(…) Brandon Cedel delivered vocal lines showing indefatigability and (…) confidently embodied [a] scary tyrant(s) of ancient Rome.”
  Jonas Kublickas, The Boston Musical Intellegencer, March 13 2019
  

  “You almost don’t need them, since the cast sings with clarity as well as power and as much individual character as the opera’s persistent intensity allows for. At Monday’s opening performance, Cedel’s huge, deep Collatinus made the biggest vocal impression.”
  Jeffrey Gantz, Boston Globe, March 12 2019

  30 Jan 19 MOZART Don Giovanni
  Metropolitan Opera, New York

  “As Masetto, Brandon Cedel put on a solid performance. There was an overall earnestness to his approach, supported by a earthy vocal reading. His aria “Ho capito, signor, si” was marked by a roughness of tone that perfectly reflected his status as a peasant.”
  David Salazar, Opera Wire, January 30 2019
  

  “(…) the bass-baritone Brandon Cedel, suave and alert as Masetto.”
  Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, The New York Times, February 03 2019

  22 Sep 18 PUCCINI Tosca
  Oper Frankfurt

  “(…) l’Angelotti de Brandon Cedel, tout comme le sacristain de Franz Meyer ont abordé leurs rôles, dont la difficulté réside davantage dans le jeu que dans le chant, avec sérieux et une réelle implication.”
  Thierry Verger, Forum Opera, 14 October 2018

  Oper Frankfurt

  “Kernig mit leichtem Vibrato schwang Donner (Brandon Cedel) den baritonalen Hammer.”
  Gerhard Hoffmann, Merker, April 13 2018
