In his Met debut as Aeneas, Bryan Hymel gives “an impassioned and confident performance of a heroic role that dominates this formidable French opera (and) sang with unflagging stamina and impetuous abandon, capped with some exciting full voiced top notes.” – The New York Times

Susan Graham “commanded the stage during the final three acts as Dido…her tones were burnished, her acting impassioned. Her final-act aria, “Je vais mourir (I am going to die),” was tender and emotional, causing the audience to erupt in a huge ovation.” – Associated Press

“The score in Les Troyens ranges from the majestic to the sublime. There are introspective solos, stirring ensembles, a passionate love duet, rousing choruses, and intricate orchestral passages. This revival is carried by splendid performances by Susan Graham as Dido and Deborah Voigt as Cassandra, along with the always excellent Met chorus and orchestra under the exacting and fast-paced conducting of Fabio Luisi.”--The Huffington Post
