Best of all was Michel de Souza’s Germont, his character revealed as a blend of harshness and sympathy, expertly realised from a vocal point of view.
Opera Now – George Hall, October 2021
Michel de Souza was a poised and self-possessed Figaro, one who was always in control and delighted in it. De Souza’s approach to his famous aria was vividly done, without making too much of the buffo element (easy enough to do given the lively staging), and throughout there was a sense of the character anchoring the action, guiding it and always there was a lively gleam in De Souza’s eye. A strong performance that made its presence felt not only in the aria, but as a lively partner in the recitatives and ensembles.
