Così fan tutte (Guglielmo) – Royal Opera London, February-March 2019

“Orendt’s Guglielmo rather revelled in the vast comic scale of his arias. It’s not just that the voice is so large, but it’s that it also has such a developed and innate sense of character. The voice can sound mocking one moment – almost like a foil to Thomas Allen’s Don Alfonso – but the next it seems to imitate the orchestra – how some of Orendt’s notes rang out against some of the brass fanfares, as if in a comic duet, was thrilling”

“Gyula Orendt proves a superb actor and brilliant all-rounder as Guglielmo”

“a personality as large as his voice”
