(As Simone in Zemlinsky’s A Florentine Tragedy with Teatro Regio Torino) “On stage highlights Mark S. Doss, who dominates a work largely conceived as a monologue for Simone,… His bass-baritone voice plays on diverse colors throughout his range to illuminate the text and to have you listen to it.” Posted By: Giancarlo Landini — Operaclick.com |
(As The Dutchman in Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman with the Teatro Comunale di Bologna) “Mark S. Doss books a Dutchman of great stature, to the noble foundation. One hears a powerful reserve that never deploys gratuitously, instead cultivating the art of nuance while in the service of the drama, with a refined sensibility, infinitely worthy, he makes the title role a positive character, in accordance with the staging.” Posted By: Bertrand Bolognesi — ANACLASE |
(As Amonasro in Verdi’s Aida with Dorset Opera) “Leading the field among the four principals is Mark S. Doss as Amonasro – a thrilling stage performer who wastes no opportunity to advance his character and sings with vehemence, he is the star of the show.” Posted By: George Hall — THE STAGE.CO.UK |
(As The Dutchman in Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman with the Teatro Regio Torino) "With Mark S. Doss, the cast includes one of the most beautiful voices that I can imagine in the title role... Full of innumerable colors, timbre, his voice has a unique harmonic richness that creates an irresistible attraction for this character... Restrained in his gestures, with his large, warm and captivating voice, Mark S. Doss expresses marvelously the weariness of the eternal wandering Dutchman." Posted By: Jacques Schmitt — ResMusica |
(As Vodník in Dvorak’s Rusalka with San Diego Opera) “Her extraordinary performance (Renée Fleming) was effectively complemented by Mark S. Doss, whose rich basso cantante ennobled the paternal warnings of Vodník, the sepulchral Water Gnome.” Posted By: Martin Bernheimer — Los Angeles Times |
(As Pizarro in Beethoven’s Fidelio with Dorset Opera) “Once again however, it is the sheer power of Mark S. Doss as Don Pizarro who triumphs just as he did as Amonasro in Aida. Sweeping about the stage, he effortlessly commands the ensemble casts of prisoners and henchmen droogs before blasting us once again with the grandeur of his vocal skill.” Posted By: Mblazeby — Blackmore Vale Magazine |
(Bridgeport Symphony’s Concert of Mozart arias and Copland’s Old American Songs [Set 2]) “It quickly became obvious that Doss is a Standout -- an Empire State Building among bass-baritones. His voice was pristine and clear, smooth as a lake without a single ripple.” Posted By: Joseph Pronechen — The Connecticut Post |
"Doss is an extraordinary singer who made every syllable of the text compelling. His deep bass sound brought out the power of the message when he shouted, 'By heaven's fire, the sky is inflamed." Posted By: — Virginia Daily Press (As Haydn's Creation with Virginia Symphony) |
