Carlos Alvarez, Simon Boccanegra at ROH Covent Garden, London 2018

Carlos Álvarez dazzles in Verdi’s dark epic

«The mesmerising baritone is entirely convincing in Elijah Moshinsky’s revival of Verdi’s broodingly intense portrait of a man haunted by his past (…)a superbly accomplished performance by Carlos Álvarez as the Genoese Doge (…) Singing with burnished warmth of tone and an impeccable sense of line, Álvarez is entirely convincing both as the private man and the public figure, carefully contrasting the impulsive sensualist of the prologue with the careworn, principled statesman of the later acts.

Faced with feuding factions in his council chamber, he hurls out “Plebepatrizipopolo” with tremendous dignity and command. A subtle actor, he is extraordinarily moving at the close, as Paolo’s poison slowly destroys his body, even as he is finally reconciled with Ferruccio Furlanetto’s implacable Fiesco. (..)»
