CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"...a crisp baritone voice with powerful punches in the phrasing..." – Palm Beach Post
Lucia di Lammermoor – Sejin Park expertly plays the evil brother, Enrico, in Act II, scene 1, from Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor,” commanding the stage and using every corner to brood over his beverage. Park has a crisp baritone voice with powerful punches in the phrasing. He had an uncanny ability to find the best coloring of his voice to support soprano Amber Norelai in the duet. The blending of voices was truly charming, and Norelai shined in the bel canto.
