Parfait binôme « Skoula et Iérochka » d’Adam Palka et Andrei Popov, complémentaires et colorés
mais les deux soudards d'Adam Palka et Andrei Popov sont parfaitement appariés, apportant à l'épopée sa touche bouffonne.
Andreï Popov campe un Méphistophélès, et de manière plus retenue un Agrippa von Nettesheim, de saltimbanque. Il se donne en spectacle, de manière outrancière et outrageante, mobilisant un organe sonore et ductile jusqu’au cri. Le timbre est doré comme une icône orthodoxe.
and the surprise packet of the evening was Andrei Popov, whose voice ran rings around the tricky interventions of Agrippa and then blew us away with his entry as Mephistopheles: this is yet another opera where the devil gets the best lines.
Auch alle weiteren Partien bis hin zum hervorragenden Chor sind in dieser musikalisch und szenisch überaus geschlossen wirkenden Produktion hervorragend besetzt. Besonders Andrei Popov in den Rollen von Mephistopheles und Agrippa von Nettesheim,
Après un premier acte légèrement engorgé, Popov fait de nouveau des prouesses en Nibelung retors, trouvant le juste milieu entre art vocal et jeu scénique.
Andreï Popov se révèle un Mime truculent à souhait, sans gestuelle outrancière ni voix ridiculisée avec excès, se servant du texte pour donner tout son piquant au personnage.
