The young but already world-famous singer Vladimir Moroz (as Zurga) pleasantly surprised opera lovers with the lustrous sheen of his beautifully mellifluous “cavalier” baritone, the “European-ness” of his sound and his striking high notes. He was the undoubted leader of the ensemble in terms of style.
