Reviews
"Blake Denson was also very strong as Morales. A roaring baritone, almost with a little bass coloring in his voice. One is reminded of Falk Stuckmann. He is an officer, able to to wield power and chat with Micaela at the same time. That was a successful house debut, hopefully he has a great career ahead of him"
-Klassik begeistert
" Blake Denson, who in just the few words he spoke gave an indication of the commanding resonance and size of his voice. He gave an impressive account of Rodrigue's final aria, "Carlos scouts", from Verdi's Don Carlos."
-The Front Row Center
"So to the singers. Who Should I begin with?...credit where credit is due, Blake Denson's Donner was Magnificent. He took a character who really has only one big moment (at the very end) and gave him depth and power. Power, certainly in vocal terms, but Denson has real stage presence too."
