I Puritani at the Metropolitan Opera
“Ruciński’s voice was especially well-paired with the resonant bass-baritone of Christian Van Horn as Giorgio, Elvira’s sympathetic uncle. Their patriotic and energetic duet, “Suoni la tromba”, preceded by a gorgeously atmospheric horn solo, was one of the evening’s many highlights.”
“Mr. Van Horn’s handsome bass-baritone made for a sympathetic Giorgio”
“Van Horn is a similar singer, with a tone that has a slight edge and great robustness.”
“Van Horn’s Giorgio, Elvira’s uncle, was muscular and compassionate in equal measure, warm and persuasive as he pleaded a case for her happiness.”
