“Former Royal Opera Jette Parker Young Artist Thomas Atkins has graduated to a regal prince all too likely to respond to the lofty theatrics of the star-blazing queen. From the start he suggests lyric-heroic tenor in the brightest terms, though he can be softly caressing, too, as he was at a surprising late stage in the aria where Tamino contemplates a (here living) portrait of Pamina.”
