In Review: Abreu "heavenly" in double bill with Chicago Opera Theater


"Abreu brings off the suicidal artist’s 30-minute succession of arias and accompanied recitatives most skillfully . . . The Puerto Rican tenor Abreu commands not only a bright, honeyed lyric tenor and a disarmingly easy way of negotiating Beppe’s sometimes floridly demanding vocal lines, but he’s very funny, too, as the cowed hubby, with a rubbery flair for physical comedy. Watch him fly high above the clouds on wires as Beppe exults in his temporary freedom from his marriage vows. Abreu is a discovery." -Chicago Tribune
