Prince Gremin / Eugene Onegin / Hampstead Garden Opera / 2024
“Wonsick Oh made a touching, velvet-voiced and somehow unworldly Gremin.”
(Opera)
“Prince Gremin will almost always stand out… the moving excellence with which Wonsick Oh presented it.”
(Seen and Heard International)
Bartolo / Le nozze di Figaro / Royal Academy Opera / 2023
“Wonsick Oh’s distinguished Bartolo…”
(Opera)
Emerging Artist Showcase / Oxford International Song Festival / 2022
“Wonsick has a lovely rich, chocolately bass… breadth and authority, while also responding flexibly to the song’s wistfulness… showcasing the deep darkness of Wonsick Oh’s low bass and his commanding stage presence.”
(Opera Today)
“A voice of rich, unforced gravity, exactly right for Tchaikovsky’s None but the Lonely Heart… Oh has dignity and gravity to spare.”
(The Telegraph)
Simone / Gianni Schicchi / Royal Academy Opera / 2021
“Wonsick Oh’s cavernous voice is notable in his portrayal of Simone.”
