"baritone Jason Detwiler...truly inhabited the role of the doomed Dutchman."
"Detwiler was richly expressive, his voice conveying the spookiness, frustration and pain, but also the dignity, of the Dutchman. Throughout his 10-minute aria, there was a mounting tension, a storm of anxiety broke out, with the orchestra shadowing the baritone. He clenched his fists, crying out for death's relief: These were the performance's finest moments."
San Jose Mercury News - Apr. 2005
"...superb... Baritone Jason Detwiler as the Dutchman rose to new heights vocally and dramatically."
Inside Bay Area - Apr. 2005
"Baritone Jason Detwiler proved up to the challenge...Mastering this role marks a highpoint in the young baritone's career."
Milpitas Post - Apr. 2005
"Jason Detwiler has a beautiful baritone voice but it may be a shade too light for the part of the Dutchman in some houses...He gave a fine account of the spellbound seafarer. Since he is a consummate actor, his character was thoroughly convincing."
