„German tenor Manuel Günther was the ideal Pedrillo, vocally at ease with the role, as well as dramatically convincing. His Act III romance “In Mohrenland gefangen war” was charming. He convincingly conveyed his hesitation regarding the escape plot in Act II’s “Frisch zum Kampfe”. The ensuing duet with Osmin, “Vivat Bacchus! Bacchus lebe” was the opera’s most amusing moment.“
