Critical Acclaim
Feel the Rhythm!, Voices Intimae, May 2009
"Blake Davidson's outgoing manner was allied to an attractively brassy baritone."
Scott Cantrell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
H.M.S. Pinafore (Bill Bobstay), The Living Opera, July 2008
"Actually, the Living Opera has a fine bunch of singers. Blake Davidson's Bill Bobstay is a standout, with a particularly powerful and well-formed voice."
Scott Cantrell, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Man of La Mancha (The Duke/Dr. Carrasco),Casa Manana, November 2007
"Blake Davidson as the doctor . . . provides some of the show's best singing."
Lawson Taitte, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Evita (Juan Peron), Lyric Stage, February 2006
"Davidson's lush voice and sharp acting skills made his performance bounce."
Elaine Liner, THE DALLAS OBSERVER
Carnegie Hall (Weill Hall) concert, April 2006
"The marvelous American bariton Blake Davidson gave his wonderful stage presence and rich, house-filling voice to Rogers & Hammerstein's "Soliloquy" from Carousel. He is a splendid performer who brings a great dignity and maturity that goes beyond his still relatively few years. As he grows as an artist, I will not be at all surprised to see him join the ranks of such great singers as Thomas Hampson or William Sharp."
Jeffrey James, Editor, INTERNATIONAL COMPOSER
Pagliacci (Tonio), Auckland Philharmonia, Auckland, NZ, November 2004
"The two Americans impressed . . . Blake Davidson, as Tonio, putting the Prologue across with the same pizzazz that one might expect from a baritone who has Rodgers and Hammerstein's 'Soliloquy' under his belt."
William Dart, THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD
Rodgers and Hammerstein Tribute, The Florida Orchestra, Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, FL, June 2004
"Davidson . . . has a tour de force in 'Soliloquy.'"
John Fleming, ST. PETERSBURG TIMES

Punch Shaw, FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM
Tribute to Richard Rodgers, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Dallas, Texas, February 2002
"Mr. Davidson would probably win the Mr. Personality award, his 'Soliloquy' from Carousel glowed with life."
Olin Chislm, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
Broadway!, Dallas Symphony Pops, Dallas, Texas, March 2001
"Blake Davidson stood out from the pack with a ringing, glorious baritone. He displalyed exceptional power enven in his highest notes and a consistently gorgeous tone."
Punch Shaw, FORT WORTH STAR TELEGRAM
"Dallas Christmas Gala" CD recording, Dallas Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, December 2000
"The high points . . . are Blake Davidson's solos, his baritone as warm and rich as plum pudding."
