Die Zauberflöte

In November 2019, Will was fortunate enough to be cast as one of the three treble boy roles in the Royal Opera Company’s production of ‘Die Zauberflöte’.

Commenting in a review for London Unattached, Fiona MacLean writes… “The three boys, sung beautifully by Richard Wolfson, Joshua Abrams and Willam James appear in a Heath Robinson style flying wicker basket, complete with wings, Pappagano lures and catches a puppet bird to prove his prowess and the serpent in the opening sequence looks like a character from a medieval pageant.”

Commenting in a review for Opera Today, David Truslove writes… “The trio of Ladies (Kiandra Howarth, Hongni Wu and Nadine Weissmann) eventually found an accommodation in their ensembles, a quality brought off with great assurance by the three boys Richard Wolfson, Joshua Abrams and William James who made the most of their roles.”
