Verdi’s ‘Nabucco’ in Valencia

“American tenor Brian Jagde left a very good impression. His voice is attractive and very well suited to Ismaele.”
José M. Irurzun – Seen and Heard International

“Brian Jagde exhibió un bello timbre y buen gusto en su papel de Ismaele, del que hay que lamentar que sea tan breve.”
Manuel Muñoz – CulturPlaza

[“Brian Jagde exhibited a beautiful timbre and good taste in the role of Ismaele, which is regrettable that it is so brief.”]

“En esta obra, el tenor, en el personaje de Ismaele, tiene menos protagonismo de lo habitual. Brian Jagde, no se lució especialmente por falta de un aria que se lo permita, pero su voz se escuchó firme en las escenas en las que hacía acto de presencia.”
Notas de Paso de Miguel

[“A very good impression was left by the American tenor Brian Jagde. The voice is attractive, very suitable for Ismaele, and very homogeneous.”]

“Muy buena impresión la dejada por el tenor americano Brian Jagde. La voz es atractiva, muy adecuada para Ismaele, y muy homogénea.”

José M. Irurzun – Beckmesser.com

[“In this work, the tenor, in the character of Ismaele, has less prominence than usual. Brian Jagde, is not singled out due to the lack of an aria, but his voice sounded firm in scenes that he made an appearance.”]

“En cuanto a Brian Jagde, cantó con brio . . .”
Rosa Sola – El País

[“As for Brian Jagde, he sang with verve . . .”]

“También cumplieron eficazmente Varduhi Abrahamyan, como Fenena, la hija de Nabucco y fiel compañera del cónsul hebreo Ismael; y Brian Jagde, como Ismael.”
Radio Intereconomía

[“Roles were also portrayed effectively by Varduhi Abrahamyan as Fenena, Nabucco’s daughter and faithful companion of Ismael consul Hebrew; and Brian Jagde, as Ishmael.”]

“La soprano, el tenor y el bajo coinciderion en la posesión de bellos medios.”
Alfredo Brotons Muñoz – Levante EMV

[“The soprano, the tenor and the bass were all in possession of beautiful means/voices.”]
