Für den kurzfristig indisponierten Stuart Skelton hatte der amerikanische Tenor Marc Heller die Titelrolle übernommen. Da er sowieso als Cover vorgesehen war, war er mit der komplexen Regie von Wilson bestens vertraut. Heller beeindruckte mit mächtiger Stimme und stählerner Höhe, war aber auch zu sehr feinem Gesang fähig. Nach einem guten ersten Akt und einem kleinen Einbruch im zweiten, konnte sich Heller im dritten und vierten Akt enorm steigern.
Remy Franck
Pizzicato
Heller offered the best Verdian declamation and phrasing, his voice extending from baritone depths to a top he can lighten when needed; a useful, musicianly tenor.
