As Escamillo, Kyle Ketelsen sang elegantly and presented a sufficiently dashing matador. One blemish in his toreador scene had nothing to do with him. As he was singing this showcase aria, Zuniga was mimicking him, diverting focus from one of the opera’s great moments. . . making the venerated figure of the matador — a macho hero — into a figure to be mocked and ridiculed. -SF Artworld Note: I beg to differ — There was no 'mocking' but 'hero worshipping', and this added to credibility of the scene and the rather smallish toreador./ Review 2006 |
