| Robert Dean Smith is a Heldentenor with a lyrical quality to his voice, which makes his interpretations of Wagner movingly beautiful even in their heaviest moments. |
|
| Even if he lacks the vocal heft or tonal allure of a true Heldentenor, he has stamina to spare, and his musings about his dead mother were touching. |
|
| Some of this singing is a little more operatic than it needs to be, but America's embrace is broad enough to hold the diva, the heldentenor, and more besides. |
|
| Mac Master has a considerable reputation as a heldentenor and in performance proved equal to the vocal heroics required. |
|
| The entirely new cast stars Behle and heldentenor Siegfried Jerusalem as the insatiable paramours. |
|
| His beautiful tenor, while being less dramatic than a heldentenor voice, better exposed the vulnerable and moving sides of his character. |
|
| The absence of the Lyric's usual work-horse heldentenor William Johns was sadly evident here. |
|
| This captain, played with ghastly vehemence by veteran heldentenor Wolfgang Schmidt, was a sight to behold, grotesquely overweight in suspenders and sporting fat-man falsies. |
