Peter Mattei’s appearances at the Metropolitan Opera as Mozart’s lecherous Don Giovanni, Rossini’s smooth-talking Figaro, and agonized Amfortas in Wagner’s Parsifal showcased “an elegant singer who can spin a legato phrase with velveteen smoothness” (The New York Times). His vocal gifts and “naturalness of his acting” will also be displayed when he sings Schubert’s dramatically riveting and tragic song cycle Winterreise.
