In April and June 2025 Jamie played Zuniga in Carmen at the Royal Opera House for 14 performances alongside Freddie de Tommaso as Don José and Aigul Akhmetshina in the title role.
"Jamie Woollard is an imposing (if not actually alarming) officer Zuniga."
— The Stage, 10 April 2025, George Hall
"Notable too was British bass Jamie Woollard, another Jette Parker Artist, singing Zuniga. Impressively characterised, he made the role his own..."
— London Unattached, 10 April 2025, Fiona Maclean
"It was also a night of great triumph for the Jette Parker Artists, most notable 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. I cannot recall wanting to hear a bass voice more, such is his vocal potency."

"Jamie Woollard added a fine streak of cynicism as Jose’s superior officer Zuniga."
— The Guardian, 10 April 2025, Martin Kettle
