La Forza del destino at Gran Teatre del Liceu

Tackling Don Alvaro in Forza feels like a perfect evolution for him, and he delivered on every count.

” … the phenomenal Brian Jagde, an American tenor I admire for his passionate performances as Mario Cavaradossi in Tosca and Don José in Carmen. Tackling Don Alvaro in Forza feels like a perfect evolution for him, and he delivered on every count. I only hope he’ll tackle Verdi’s Otello or Don Carlo someday — it’s exciting to think about what he could bring to those monumental roles!”

Opera Diary

“Brian Jagde defendió un Don Álvaro pletórico; su proyección y entonación, potente y grandilocuente, hicieron de él la tercera y última pieza de este triángulo protagonista, definitivamente bien acertado.”

[Brian Jagde played a superb Don Álvaro; his projection and intonation, powerful and grandiloquent, made him the third and final piece in this triangle of protagonists, definitely well cast.]
