The American baritone Zachary Wilson pleased me the most: he delivered his Lotario without much exaggeration, with a noble yet biting sound and a tension that cut straight through the hall, strongly reminiscent of the furious Count in Mozart’s Nozze. I would love to hear his Don Giovanni, which he will be singing for the last time on 14 November in Wuppertal: go see it, because he acts and sings phenomenally, and all from memory — which really is a must. -Peter Schlamilch, De Nieuwe Muz

“With a wonderfully supple, expansively soaring baritone, Zachary Bruce Wilson distinguishes himself as Corrado, portrayed here as both a lover and a man in despair.” — Andreas Berger, Die Deutsche Bühne
