WERTHER (Werther)

(Washington Concert Opera)

“Filianoti shares with his predecessor a tightly wound voice effective at suggesting melancholy and fraught excitability, and an ability to sweetly caress a phrase.

…his high notes were… exciting, and he vividly suggested the blurred line between his character’s poetic sensitivity and self-annihilating psychosis.”

Joe Banno, Washingtonpost.com, May 23, 2011
