So proud of our amazing South African baritone, Theo Magongoma, who received high praise for his role debut as Conte di Luna in Il Trovatore in Cape Town! 👏👏
Remember his name – you’ll definitely be hearing more about him soon. Upcoming engagements include the title roles in Nabucco and Macbeth in Germany, as well as Tonio in I Pagliacci at the renowned Théâtre La Monnaie in Brussels.
„The night belonged, however, to the most senior singer of the lead ensemble, baritone Theo Magongoma (Count Di Luna). Possessed of a rich, dynamic and colour-filled voice, he was seemingly put on this earth to sing the great Verdi Baritone roles. With impeccable diction (a fe**sh of mine, so important for both musicality and expression), arresting and admirable tone and enviable, charismatic stage presence, he had the audience in the palm of his hand from the moment he opened his mouth. And his commitment to character did not falter for a second, commendable when playing the villain. And also a boon to his junior colleagues, who raised their game in ensembles with him. He commands attention and one cannot take one's eyes off of him“.
