Belcore in Donizetti's L'Elisir d'Amore, Los Angeles Opera

---

"Lawless's 'L'Elisir' is an ensemble piece, and everyone this time around appeared believable. But the production did tend to swallow up the young singers. Without large voices or over-sized personalities, they had trouble dominating the stage dramatically or vocally--hay (even fake hay) isn't a very good acoustical substance.

"Gunn was an appealing Belcore, more suave than most if a little less funny."
--Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times

---

"Gunn's baritone proved smooth, light and mellow as Belcore, perhaps a bit too much so for the part. One desired a little more meat there."--Timothy Mangan, Orange County Register

A review at Opera-L

"Nathan Gunn was only a moderately successful Belcore, all the more puzzling because if anyone in the opera world could be assumed to easily pull off this role it should be opera's chief stud baritone."--The Ambassador roams high and low
