La bohème
Metropolitan OperaOct 2023 - Nov 2023Seemingly earnest by nature, Costello is a serious Rodolfo. The tenor was in particularly fine voice for this performance, singing with exceptional elasticity and emotion. The ease with which he caressed and then lingered on the climatic phrase of “Che gelida manina” was particularly impressive.
