"Weston Hurt gave the strongest performance of the evening as Giorgio Germont, Alfredo’s father. Hurt was obviously given the vocal gift of a gorgeous baritone, which is golden, weighty, and clear. His performance was faultless — stylistically on the money, dramatically committed, and displaying a vocalism that was perfectly even from the top to the bottom of his range." Opera News

“A key highlight of this production is the UK and ENO debut of American baritone Weston Hurt as Rigoletto. Renowned for his “golden” voice and magnetic stage presence, Hurt delivers a performance steeped in pathos and nuanced expression, promising a portrayal that blends vocal finesse with deep character insight.”
