Andrei Bondarenko / Ressenyes

Which brings us to Bondarenko as the predatory Count. His nuanced acting and powerful stage presence were major reasons why this Figaro could feel so uncomfortably relevant and compelling despite its 17th-century setting, and why it has such wide dramatic scope...Musically, Bondarenko was equally magnetic, with his Act 3 “Hai gia vinta la causa” a particularly superb moment of the entire opera.
