Trevor Haumschilt-Rocha as the Count was an imposing figure in his three-piece suit, matched by an equally impressive baritone in the vengeful “Vedrò mentr’io sospiro.”

Baritone Trevor Haumschilt-Rocha as Dr. Malatesta has a wonderfully rich and big voice that thrilled with its robust fullness and fluidity throughout its range.

Trevor Haumschilt-Rocha is emerging on international stages and is heralded for his “reverberant, expressive baritone with outstanding diction” (Opera News) and “confident, robust Italian singing” (Times Union).
