A stellar cast of four singers – Sopranos Natalie Aroyan and Amelia Farrugia and tenors David Hobson and Richard Troxell from the USA – accompanied by The Metropolitan Orchestra and conducted by Maestro Brian Castle-Onion, held the audience literally in the palm of their hand all evening.
The Culture Concept

“…American lyric tenor Richard Troxell – a consummate entertainer with a captivatingly powerful, burnished voice that filled the concert hall. His La donna é mobile had a charming bounce to it … he sang his upbeat Questo o quella to the orchestra’s concertmaster Anna McMichael….

Balance in the space was also an issue, the orchestra overpowering Russell’s low register at times and swamping the more delicate moments in Jo’s performances – though Troxell had no problem making himself heard.”
