Bass Raymond Aceto was a powerful but gravely Banquo, and tenor Alfredo Portillo, who has hardly been heard here since his days as an Adler Fellow in the mid-1990s, sang Macduff with plenty of ardor but less tonal freshness./ Review |

Alfredo Portilla |
The singers in supporting roles were particularly exciting. As Banquo, Raymond Aceto displayed a dazzling tone unusual in a bass. His Banquo had warmth and humanity, and was particularly touching as he convinced his son Fleance (Ben Seigel) to escape just prior to his murder. Alfredo Portilla was forceful and determined as the avenging Macduff./ SFCV |
