Maometto II, Teatro Nuovo, 2022

Broadway World - “As Maometto (Mehmed), baritone Scott Purcell pulled off the often-taxing music and was dramatically just right”

Il barbiere di Siviglia, Teatro Nuovo, 2021

The New York Times - “The baritone Scott Purcell excelled as the officious Dr. Bartolo…”

Operawire - “In the role of Doctor Bartolo, Scott Purcell presented a perpetually flummoxed character who knows something is up but every time he believes he’s figured things out, Figaro or Rosina outsmart him. Throughout the opera, Purcell ratcheted up Bartolo’s frustration at the situation; he simply can’t catch Figaro or Rosina in the act or trip them up, though he comes so close. Drat! While I felt little sympathy for Bartolo, I found Purcell’s portrayal enormously entertaining.”

Roscoe, Seagle Music Colony, 2016

National Opera Association - “Purcell has a handsome, true and full baritone voice that warmed into itself as the evening rolled along… Purcell was able to capture the nuances of Roscoe’s character, from confident power player, to lusty pursuer.”
