Ivan Shcherbatykh / Recenzijas

Bass Ivan Shcherbatykh as Oberto’s father, the Count of Leitmeritz, fitted the trope of authoritarian father well though a tad more projection was needed at times. Conor Prendiville, as Fritz the jester, possessed fine comic timing, adding much-needed light-heartedness into an intense opera. The chorus of ladies and the male jesters and soldiers were excellent, singing lustily and acting with jollity when required and surrealism at other times.
