“Richard Troxell made a fine dramatic partner for Paulin, the scenes with the two young lovers are natural and unforced, and the more passionate scenes in the later part of the opera charged with strong emotion.Troxell has a fine voice which he uses intelligently, and if there is yet another level of vocal finesse that might be achieved, it is possessed by very few French-style tenors presently before the public. He was heard to the best effect in the mood-filled En fermant les yeux in the second act, a vocal highlight of the production. He was also convincing in the more dramatic moments in the final two acts, both of the big duets succeeding admirably.”
