“The highlight of the show is definitely baritone Yngve Søberg as Rigoletto. He was the only one on the stage who could fill the room with his powerful sound in all registers, and because of this his interaction with the orchestra was never forced, and musically he could really go into the nuances that the role requires.”

“It was Yngve Søberg’s night with a capital N! A voice that- role after role- grows more gently but still with more authority and power as he grows into the larger opera repertoire. Born to be Rigoletto-  it takes a big heart and a voice that expresses all sides of life to shape and form this complex character that is reckoned to be one of the most multifaceted figures in the opera literature.”

“Yngve Søberg’s voice is beautiful, expressive and carries well”

“Already in 2012 proclaimed as “an exceptional vocal talent”, when he appeared in Florence in the role of the Verdian buffoon under the direction of Fabio Luisi, Søberg did nothing but confirm these words. He is in possession of a surprisingly beautiful voice, soft, mellow; it boasts a splendid and caressing singing line and an impeccable accent. He sang the most difficult part with great musicality and extreme enthusiasm, demonstrating a perfect understanding of Verdian style. His singing always impressed as he performed, proving to be Verdi’s baritone par excellence.”

“Già nel 2012 proclamato come “un talento vocale eccezionale”, apparso a Firenze nel ruolo del buffone verdiano sotto la direzione di Fabio Luisi, Søberg non ha fatto altro che confermare queste parole. E’ in possesso di una voce sorprendentemente bella, morbida, pastosa, un po’ chiara; vanta una linea di canto splendida e carezzevole e un accento impeccabile. Ha cantato la difficilissima parte con una grande musicalità e uno slancio estremo, dimostrando una perfetta comprensione dello stile verdiano. Il suo canto andava sempre migliorandosi nel corso della recita, dimostrandosi baritono verdiano per eccellenza.”
