John Osborn
tenor

"The tenor John Osborn (Tonio) immediately exhibited elegance, grace, refinement and a broad and fluid gesture with which he managed to underline the melodic transports of the singing which was expressed in a truly excellent technical mastery where the threads, the mezzo voci and the clarity and refinement of the melodic line were exhilaratingly celebrated. His performance of the aria “Ah! Mes amis, quell jour de fête”, followed by the amazing cabaletta “Pour mon âme, quell destin!”, where the interpreter has to face nine Cs head on. Osborn gave life to such a rare and exemplary performance that the audience requested, with a real ovation, an open-stage encore which the generous artist granted without being asked too much."
