I him on saturday night 3/2/24. I said. how is it that he can be just as good any of the few recordings that we have: del monaco, pavorotti, etc.. the was 5 minutes of applause.

[@dafehlteinstein]

WOW ... To be honest ... this is one of the best performances I have ever heard of "nessun dorma". The timing is excellent, the power of his voice perfectly fits to this aria. The only thing that could be improved, in my opinion, is the "lightness" or "easyness" ... in some parts like Pavarotti did it. But as a whole, as far as I can evaluate that, this is a top-notch performance. Hope to hear more interpretations by this tenor soon.

[@BlackSpock135]

Wow , love the singer !!!!!

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

Don't get me wrong, but even if he wobbles a bit, but he ain't *that bad* he's still better than other tenors like Yusif Evaznov and Yonghoon Lee. No offense to the both of the tenors.

[@bryanschlippjr4894]

However I have one problem. Is Carlo Bosi back as emperor?

[@05350]

He just turned from baritone to tenor during the pandemic. Impressive.

Great sustain at the end… I saw him on his final performance of the series (Saturday matinee)… he was definitely out of gas by then… cutting his “vincero” short. Great performance nonetheless. Good to see an Asian male lead in a Chinese opera.

A beautiful attempt - bravo!😍 I listen to the recording: this is a dark and richly aliquoted tenor voice, however lyrical, but not dramatic. In my perception - the part of Calaf should be sung by a heroic tenor. I wish him good luck and success! 💛

[@biancacastafiore8760]

he’s at least a spinto, not a lyric

[@somerandomguy84]

@@biancacastafiore8760 Not only that but we've gotten to this weird point where if someone sings with shape and finesse that they aren't a big voice. All voices should sing with style.

[@boundary2580]

@@somerandomguy84people are really judging the size of the voice from curated recordings. If you put static over this and said it was from some random Italian tenor from the 30s people would be calling him a full dramatic tenor. There really is no pleasing these people, they need to actually go see these people live before judging.
