"Tenor Colin Aikins gave a “dramatically meaningful performance…as the ardent and impetuous young lover delivering ‘Dei miei bollenti spiriti’ with panache…watching his spirits collapse when he reads Violetta’s “Dear John” letter was heartbreaking. The peak of his performance came in Act III when his anger exploded to fit the emotion.”

“A supernal performance…we were riveted. Mr. Moore’s intense monologue was delivered so dramatically by Mr. Aikins that it seemed he was channeling the painter, expressing intense joys and despairs…with impeccable diction. This was one of those performances for which our impoverished words are no match. It was unforgettable.”
