News: Nov 01 2024
This November 10, 13, 20, 22, and 24, Nicolas Testé returns to the role of Frère Laurent in Roméo et Juliette, a role he has previously sung for Teatro alla Scala, Washington National Opera, and the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Of his performance at WNO, Opera Gene said, “His beautiful voice and singing readily take command of the stage.” These performances also feature Elsa Dreisig, Amitai Pati, and Jaka Mihelač. Stefano Montanari conducts Mariame Clément’s production, which frames the star-crossed lovers as the young people of today, who find each other against all odds.
