César Gutiérrez; the Rodolfo of my heart


Just back from the opera, and OH MY: the guy singing Rodolfo was so incredibly amazing. He was actually a stand-in for Sergio Blasquez, who fell ill on the premiere with tonsillitis. But what César Gutiérrez did on stage tonight was pure magic. I've still got goosebumps....

He owned and shared the stage at the same time. He made the other people better, and his performance was so believable, so when Mimi died his cries pierce every heart in the audience.
I simply love him....

Here's a video of him singing Che gelida manina:
