Resonant Welsh bass-baritone Bryn Terfel boasts a diverse repertoire and authoritative presence. His penetrating approach illuminates such compelling roles as Mozart's Figaro, with its elegant melodies and firecracker recitative. Later engagements with Wagner have been equally revealing, most notably, a domineering, GRAMMYⓇ-winning turn as the villainous Wotan in The Metropolitan Opera's innovative 2013 production of the Ring Cycle.
