Bass-baritone Frederik Bergman was equally impressive in the role of The Messenger, for which he produced a clearly defined reading that allowed him to display his beautifully crafted phrasing.
The final blow is given by the messenger. Vocally beautifully filled in by Frederik Bergman.
The Dutch bass-baritone Frederik Bergman displays his comedy talent as the drunken prison director Dr. Frank, with his one-man show in the third act as the highlight, in which the audience eats out of his hand.
Frederik Bergman as Frank also both brought a fine singing voice and a pleasant comedian.
Le hollandais Frederik Bergman est hilarant dans ce rôle et tout particulièrement au troisième acte, revenu dans sa prison ivre lui aussi et en slip argenté. S’il n’a pas énormément à chanter, il donne à la perfection chacune de ses notes notamment dans les nombreux ensembles.
Frederik Bergman kan zich helemaal uitleven in de dubbelrol en mag als koning van Operanië ook laten horen hoe goed hij is als operazanger in twee fragmenten uit Faust van Gonoud.
His recitatives were particularly strong, convincingly capturing his character’s personality.
Frederik Bergman's Achilla, with his powerful bass-baritone, has the greatest volume of the male voices and translates his funny, unhappy love for Cornelia into inspiring melodic lines with a radiant, hopeful radiance.
Bass-baritone Frederik Bergman sang a little 'too beautifully' for me at first, but that actually suited this reluctant villain well.
Frederik Bergman’s dark baritone was superbly resonant in Abraham’s plea.
Frederik Bergman weet zowel hen als ons te overtuigen met zijn diepe bas-bariton en indringende interpretatie.
Resonant bass-baritone Frederik Bergman hijacked the public’s attention with the first, full-bodied notes of Abraham’s Chant, and the rest of the performance followed suit.
