"The rich tone and charismatic presence of bass-baritone Richard Ollarsaba as Raimondo are strong points as well." -Richmond Times- Dispatch
"I expected Ms. Gilmore to be excellent, but two of the singers surprised me. . . The other surprise was Richard Ollarsaba who played the chaplain Raimondo. I was impressed with Mr. Ollarsaba in his performances as a young artist with Wolf Trap Opera, but his strong, resonant bass-baritone and stage presence now are commanding the stage."
