- Earlier this season, #RAArtistinFocus Peter Bronder returned to the Paris Opera -- where he had previously played Misail in Boris Godunov -- to sing Hauk-Sendorf in Janáček’s ‘The Makropulos Case’ alongside soprano Karita Mattila with conductor Susanna Mälkki. He returns to the company next year in a new production.
Peter Bronder, a specialist in character roles, is an altogether moving Hauk-Šendorf, and his performance is striking both for its simplicity . . . and for the accuracy of its tone . . . he is a key character, the only one to have had direct contact with Emilia's other life, an encounter whose tenderness and mystery he manages to render in a magnificent embodiment.
