Description
“As one of the world’s leading bass baritones Willard White is in constant demand…… Although gifted with a wonderful sense of humour, he is also known for his portrayal of unsympathetic characters such as Nick Shadow, Mefistopheles, etc. (His) dignified stage presence also enables him to be particularly effective in larger-than-life roles such as Wotan, Sarastro and Godunov. However the role for which he has achieved the greatest plaudits and one that he has made entirely his own is Porgy, so memorably portrayed at Glyndebourne and since.” (James Murray)
