Voices from the Press

“Narciso is described by the poet as the clown of the opera, and Wiktor Sundqvist’s outlandish and hilarious costume certainly made him look the part. Impressively, he too managed to become more than a figure of fun, singing from the heart with an expressive but focussed tenor which made his big aria a big hit. Despite this he threw himself into the onstage clownery with a will.” – A Turk in Italy/Läckö Opera
