Praise for Rodell Rosel and Amber Norelai in Atlanta Opera’s SIEGFRIED

Apr 30, 2025

“Tenor Rodell Rosel did a fearsomely good job as the adoptive father of Siegfried, who really takes him in to see if he can help in getting the ring of Wagner’s title along with the rest of the hoard of gold that had been stolen earlier in the tetralogy…” –Broadway World

“The Forest Bird is gorgeously sung by soaring soprano Amber Norelai…” – Broadway World

Rodell Rosel offered a masterclass in character singing as Mime. Rosel’s bright, cutting tenor and meticulous diction captured Mime’s venomous cunning without tipping too far into caricature, grounding the dwarf’s deception in all-too-human desperation” – EarRelevant

“Soprano Amber Norelai lent her light, silvery voice to the Forest Bird, projecting clarity and a touch of mischief” – EarRelevant

“Rodell Rosel is a nimble singing actor with a bright tenor as Mime, Siegfried’s scheming guardian…” – ArtsATL

“…we don’t hear a female voice — and an offstage one at that — until deep into the second act. The voice belongs to the Forest Bird, sung in this production with a radiant soprano by Amber Norelai.” – ArtsATL
