Benjamin Bernheim returns to the Opernhaus Zurich in 'I Capuleti e i Montecchi'
Benjamin Bernheim makes his return to the Opernhaus Zurich stage this season, as Tebaldo in Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi on October 30 and November 2, 4, 9 & 13. Mr. Bernheim has previously performed the role to great acclaim in Zurich:
“Tebaldo (Benjamin Bernheim), who loves Giulietta and is promised her as husband, took command of the stage with a volume that startled the whole Zurich house, and his strong physique was perfect for the role.” (Bachtrack)
“Benjamin Bernheim stood mighty as Tebaldo in action and voice, his large, clear, ringing tenor a force of its own but equally powerful over the chorus and orchestra.” (Operchaser)
Anna Stéphany sings Romeo and Olga Kulchynska is Giulietta in the revival of the Christof Loy production, with Maurizio Benini leading from the pit. Mr. Bernheim's thrilling portrayal of Tebaldo can also be enjoyed on a recently released DVD/Blu-ray edition from the 2015 performances at the Opernhaus Zurich.
