“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.”
— Opera Wire, April 2025,‘Royal Ballet & Opera 2024-25 Review: Carmen’
“Another Gremin in the making, perhaps, is Jette Parker artist Jamie Woollard, impressive as Zaretsky, overseeing the duel”
— Culture Whisper, September 2024, ‘Eugene Onegin, Royal Opera House Review’
