Mayor Upfold in Britten’s Albert Herring
Miami Music Festival (2021)
“Tenor Elijah Brown proved a scene stealer as Mr. Upfold, the town mayor. Singing and dancing his way through a ditty worthy of Gilbert and Sullivan, he exuded showbiz chops.”
Johnathan Dale in Kevin Put’s Silent Night
Florida Grand Opera (2025)
“Elijah William Brown’s robust tenor gave voice to Scottish soldier Jonathan Dale’s powerful vow of revenge at the death of his brother in battle.”
“Elijah William Brown’s more dramatic tenor sound and ringing high notes were just fierce enough to convince us of the Scotsman’s gnawing hatred of the Germans who killed his younger brother early on.”
“Elijah Brown as Jonathan Dale also displayed excellent dramatic range, starting off with a loveable boyish earnestness and quickly shifting to a brooding detachment that was a deliciously sour counterpoint to the warm camaraderie of the rest of the characters’ arcs.”
Johnathan Dale in Kevin Put’s Silent Night
Opera Orlando (2026)
“Scotsman Jonathan Dale is played by Elijah William Brown, who does more with the character than the libretto does.”
- The Orlando Sentinel
Justice Scalia In Derrick Wang’s Scalia/Gisnberg
Opera Naples (2026)
“Tenor Elijah William Brown took the role of Scalia with aplomb. A big man with a powerful voice, he has sung some Wagner and it shows.”
