“John Moore likely got as close a singer can get to making Onegin a sympathetic character. With his smooth, suave high baritone and exceptionally handsome stage presence, he was more aloof than arrogant; a disengaged, directionless man of means who prefers to stick to himself.

Moore sang most of the opera with an elegant detachment, setting the stage to make a huge impact with the thrilling tone he unleashed in his romantic epiphany and the crushing final duet. 

It’s hard to imagine a more well-matched baritone in this role.”
