Korean bass Kwangchul Youn takes on one of Giuseppe Verdi's great bass roles at the Vienna State Opera: Fiesco in Simon Boccanegra.
Youn, known for his interpretations of Verdi and Wagner, is regularly praised for his powerful voice and exceptional stage presence. In this production, too, he impresses as a commanding, sonically assured authority in the dramatic action.
Under the musical direction of Marco Armiliato, Peter Stein's proven production will continue with further performances on April 19, 21 and 24.
