"Weston Hurt brought a gorgeous voice and stylistic refinement to the role of Giorgio Germont. He cut a distinguished figure in his Act 2 marathon, fully engaging with both Violetta and Alfredo, and I cannot recall hearing a more perfectly sung ‘Di Provenza’ anywhere. This was the sound of a classic Verdi baritone, burnished bronze and beautifully phrased, with a flawless cantabile line.” Opera Magazine

“Here, Weston Hurt’s robust bass-baritone commands the stage with the booming confidence of a silver king, yet his Act II monologue reveals his vulnerability as the gold standard destroys his silver empire. The glorious music makes us forget for long stretches of time that Horace is a stupid, stubborn man who treats his first wife like dirt, throws his money around recklessly, and refuses to face reality as he drags his second family down with him to penury and ignominy. He is, after all, Our Pioneering American Hero, and the opera treats him kindly, even though it stops short of glorifying him.” - Ronnie Banerjee, Parterre Box
