  • The clerics were well cast. Evgeny Stavinsky was a solid Padre Guardiano, Rodion Pogossov an equally convincing Fra Melitone.

  • The stifling relationship between Mimi and Rodolfo is contrasted with the “easy” if fiery relationship between an elegantly acted and sung Marcello from Rodion Pogossov and Musetta from Haegee Lee.

  • Her relationship with Pogossov was engaging too, benefitting greatly from the Russian baritone’s natural stage presence and confident, detailed acting, which complemented his appealing tone, wonderfully smooth delivery and terrific ringing high notes. Pogossov made Marcello’s anger, resentment and passion powerfully present, and the Act 3 exchanges between Marcello and Musetta were a highlight of the performance.

  • Rodion Pogossov was a preening dandy of a Dandini, and like Corbelli, had his best vocal moments in Act II".

  • The dream casting of Rodion Pogossov as Dandini, Alessandro Corbelli as Don Magnifico and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo as Alidoro made up for any deficiencies in the production. Baritone Pogossov is an outstanding talent, seen at LAO as Papageno in The Magic Flute and Figaro in The Barber of Seville".

  • Rodion Pogossov, our Don Geronio, deserves some sort of award for best ever buffo singing accomplished while performing cheerleader manoeuvres with a string of sausages (for Act 2, designer Julia Hansen has transformed the stage into a lovingly crafted Italian deli).
