“Roars of approval greeted Duncan Hartman’s role debut as Tonio, in New Israeli Opera’s first-ever Cavalleria Rusticana/Pagliacci. Hartman used his six-foot-three frame and pliant baritone to shape the humped clown usually a skulking hyena, into an amorous, suffering human turned towering nemesis.”

“Common to both casts is the Sarastro of Duncan Hartman, who brought physical and vocal stature to the proceedings and offered wonderful low notes.”
