Cavaradossi (TOSCA)
PITTSBURG OPERA

“Hugo Vera, a young tenor whose credits include the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, gave a winning portrayal of Cavaradosi. He sang with impressive consistency of tonal color throughout his range and had goodpower. His dramatic range was impressive, too – from the lightness with which he interacts with the Sacristan to his confidence in handling his lover's jealousy and above all in his emotional roller coaster in the last act.”
