  • Verdi Nabucco

    Metropolitan Opera New York
    Sep 2023 - Oct 2023
    • Of the soloists, it is Zaccaria that dominates the first act, here commandingly sung by Dmitry Belosselskiy, his several arias all perfectly idiomatic.

    • Il affronte crânement les difficultés de sa grande scène du premier acte 'Sperate o figli' [Translated] He bravely tackles the difficulties of his great Act I scene, 'Sperate o figli'

    • Dmitry Belosselskiy was also reprising the role of the high priest Zaccaria. His robust bass rang out fierce and defiant

    • Belosselskiy, who returned as Zaccaria in “Nabucco,” sang attractively in “Vieni, o Levita.”

    • In another role reprisal from 2016, Dmitry Belosselskiy displayed a rich and flowingly lyrical bass in his sage and subtle depiction of Zaccaria, the High Priest of Jerusalem.
