RIGOLETTO – San Francisco – April 2009
Our Duke, Jesús León, is a natural tenor with an unforced top and the ability to sustain high notes for an impressive length of time. The graduate of a number of prestigious opera programs is also a natural onstage, totally believable as a philandering lover, able to maintain focus in “Questa o quella” as two women ran their hands all over his face and body, and handsome enough to seduce the innocent Gilda into sacrificing her life for him.Jason Victor Serinus – San Francisco Classical Voice
