“Jamie Woollard’s terrifically sonorous bass, as deeply coloured as mahogany, swelled beautifully through ‘O Isis and Osiris’ and ‘In diesen heil’gen Hallen’…”
— Opera Today, November 2021, ‘A patriarchy-punching Magic Flute’
“Bass Jamie Woollard’s Immigration Officer thundered with Wotan-like authority, but he softened this gravity with poignant humanity in his account of the frozen man…”
— Opera Today, June 2022, ‘Taking wing at the Royal College of Music: Jonathan Dove’s Flight’
“A great triumph for the Jette Parker Artists, most notably for Jamie Woollard in the role of police captain Zuniga. He sings with a gorgeous, crushed velvet, treacle-rich bass that positively entrances. He also shows great maturity in his stage presence, convincing as the bullying authoritarian.”

“Another Gremin in the making, perhaps, is Jette Parker artist Jamie Woollard, impressive as Zaretsky, overseeing the duel”
