  • Eugene Onegin

    Royal Danish Opera
    Oct 2023 - Nov 2023

    • The internationally renowned Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk was fortunately an excellent Eugene Onegin with his charismatic appearance and a powerful voice.

    • På grund af sygdom erstattet af en gæst udefra, Yutiy Yurchuk. Det var en god løsning, for Yurchuk indgik naturligt i forestillingen med flot stemme og statur og har i øvrigt sunget i samme iscenesættelse i Bruxelles. [Translated]: Due to illness, he was replaced by an outside guest, Yuriy Yurchuk. It was a good solution, because Yurchuk was a natural part of the performance with a beautiful voice and stature and has also sung in the same staging in Brussels.

    • Meglio l’Onegin di Yuriy Yurchuk, che sostituisce l’indisposto Jens Søndergaard più che dignitosamente e porta a casa la serata con buona presenza scenica e voce solida. [Translated] Yuriy Yurchuk's Onegin is better, replacing the indisposed Jens Søndergaard more than dignifiedly and bringing home the evening with good stage presence and solid voice.

    • "In den "Liedern und Tänzen des Todes" verkörpert der ukrainische Bariton Yuriy Yurchuk den Sensenmann mit einer stimmlichen Intensität, die Gänsehaut macht." "Aber dann hat Gevatter seinen Auftritt. Der ukrainische Bariton Yuriy Yurchuk lässt ihn aufmarschieren in Mussorgskis "Liedern und Tänzen des Todes" [...] Yurchuk gibt ihm eine markant konturierte Stimme, in der sich Wucht und Düsternis der Thematik spiegeln." "Er erst macht das erste Stück zum Wiegenlied, das Bariton Yurchuk furios zwischen Schmeicheln und Grauen schwanken lässt. Er erst verwandelt die Szene mit dem kranken Mädchen zum lockend tänzelnden Ständchen. Er erst lädt den trunkenen Bauern zum Tanz mit den Schneeflocken (wobei das Orchester einen Moment Mühe hat, zu folgen), ehe er den Unglücklichen ins weiche Weiß bettet." [Translated] "“In “Songs and Dances of Death,” Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk embodies the Grim Reaper with a vocal intensity that gives you goosebumps" "But then the godfather makes his appearance. The Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk lets him march in Mussorgsky's "Songs and Dances of Death." [..] Yurchuk gives him a distinctively contoured voice that reflects the power and darkness of the subject matter.” “[Mussorgsky] turns the first piece into a lullaby, which allows baritone Yurchuk to sway furiously between flattery and horror. He first transforms the scene with the sick girl into an enticing, dancing serenade. He then invites the drunken farmer to dance with the snowflakes (which the orchestra struggles to follow for a moment) before he beds the unfortunate man in the soft white.”

  • La Traviata

    Northern Ireland Opera
    Sep 2022

    • Yurchuk is compelling. His rich baritone carries the requisite gravitas when Giorgio Germont insists that Violetta part from his son to preserve his family’s honor and so as not to offend God. Later, wracked with regret for the tragic course of actions that he has unleashed, his poignant duet with Violetta is tenderly aching.

    • The Ukrainian baritone Yuriy Yurchuk was affecting as Giorgio Germont, stiff, cold, broken, but his voice warm and reverberant. You may recognise the name. He made news earlier this year when he sang his homeland’s national anthem at the gates of Downing Street.
