Ben Heppner, Tenor January 5, 2008

With one of today's grandest dramatic tenor voices, Ben Heppner is a majestic presence on the operatic stage. When not dominating with his heldentenor's presence and power in operas, he is wowing audiences with songs from the British vaudeville stage. Deborah Voigt has become the preeminent dramatic soprano of her generation, winning enthusiastic acclaim from critics and the world's opera audiences as one of today's leading exponents of operas by Wagner, Strauss, Verdi and others. The New York Times says, "Ms. Voigt, clearly in her prime, is astonishing. Her sound is at once earthen and gleaming ... Simply glorious."
