Dmitri's Germont in Covent Garden's La traviata wins praise from London critics
Published Wednesday, May 12, 2010
The opening performance of La traviata at the Royal Opera House on Tuesday, May 12 was greeted with excitement and praise from the London audience and critics alike. George Hill of The Stage was on hand and gave this account: "Richard Eyre’s traditional staging of Verdi’s opera is back for a series of performances dignified by the presence of Russian baritone Dmitri Hvorostovsky, whose entrance in Act II as young Alfredo’s morally conventional father Giorgio Germont marks a rise in the evening’s emotional power. As expertly authoritative in his singing as he is impressive as an actor, he is by far the most focused and consistent of the three principals." The Times went even further claiming, "The masterclass in vocal style here comes from Dmitri Hvorostovsky."
