Nov 2021 - From a review on Josh's concert for the Arts Club of Washington:
"From his opening song “Marechiare” by Italian composer Paolo Tosti, Joshua mesmerized the audience with his beautiful and agile voice that was stunning in its range that mixed beautifully with his powerful stage presence."
June 2016 - As the Duke of Mantua in Really Spicy Opera's production of Verdi's Rigoletto, Josh received the following reviews:
"The Duke (Joshua Diaz) is stellar, with a heart-melting and stirring 'Parmi vedere le lagrime' to start Act 2. While everyone else is shrinking and Rigoletto trembling, Diaz’s Duke fires Monterone with a rippling, mocking laugh that is the perfect cherry on top of the musical sundae."
- Hanne Appelbaum for Twin Cities Arts Reader
"Joshua Diaz appeared as the terminally charismatic Duke of Mantua, with a rich and agile voice and sensitive interpretation that allowed his character to believably bridge lascivious womanizer and lovesick youth. Diaz’s Duke seems to believe every word he says to Gilda, even if it was clear he would turn around and believe it all again when he declared the same devotion to someone else… This almost guileless lack of self- awareness in this interpretation of the Duke made the irony of “La donna è mobile” shine through all the more clearly."
- Lydia Lunning for Twin Cities Arts Reader
