Teddy the complete package

Teddy Tahu Rhodes has won over American critics with his starring role in Cincinnati Opera’s Don Giovanni. Cincinnati Enquirer: “As murderous rakes go, Rhodes wielded considerable charm … [His] voice combined suaveness with power, and was seamless with his acting. Whether dressed in all white or in black leather, his agile presence – all 6 foot 5 inches – dominated the stage.” Cincinnati Post: “The NZ baritone sounds terrific, alternately suave and callous, yet always with a warm, good natured tone. Rhodes plays a rogue who likes his lechery. As a bonus, he looks and acts the part, matching good looks with a powerful stage presence.”
