Manrico in IL TROVATORE

Bayerische Staatsoper

“With Russell Thomas as Manrico, [Stoyanova] has a partner by her side, who can also build his metallic high notes from a dark, strong middle register. He creates with a lot of musicality and courage in the piano… Thomas was most impressive in the ensemble scenes, which he effortlessly outshone.”
