RECENT PRAISE
Opera Wire
Benjamin Poore
Baritone Thomas Mole also impressed as Escamillo with peerless top Fs and Es in the Act two showpiece; it is a voice with plenty of darkness and depth across the whole register, losing none of its interest in the upper reaches, and gives his boyish, playful characterization real charisma.
planet hugill
Thomas Mole made a vibrantly characterful Escamillo, managing to perform this impossible role in a finely musical way. He brought a lithely youthful element to the character whilst his voice never disappeared when descending into the lower reaches, and he strutted his stuff magnificently (in Act Four, in particular).
THE STAGE
GEORGE HALL
While bullfighter Escamillo is sung with thrilling vibrancy by Thomas Mole: nominally a baritone, he has no difficulty (as do many exponents of the role) with the lower notes.
