With nearly sixty roles to his credit, Detwiler has become well-known for his magnetic and energizing stage performances. His voice and acting have been described as “emotionally fervid”, “richly expressive”, and “commanding”, garnering acclaim as Eugene Onegin, Conte di Luna (Il trovatore), Zurga (Les pêcheurs de perles), and John Proctor (The Crucible), among others. 

In 2019, he debuted in an orchestrated Vaughan-Williams’ Songs of 

Travel with Treasure Valley Symphony and Lescaut in Opera Idaho’s Manon.

This fall, Mr. Detwiler will be reprising his role as Conte di Luna in a concert version of Verdi's Il trovatore with New Jersey's Opera in the Field.
