The star of the evening was the lover Alfredo. Róbert Remeselník’s tenor voice is characterized by impressive volume and sound technique, underpinned by a long breath. In the high notes, he sounded beautifully full and heroically radiant; in the low notes, he lost none of his resonance. Although this role is usually cast with singers with a more lyrical voice, his “Tannhäuser-esque” Alfredo was marked by stylish comic gestures and exemplary articulation.

Thirdly, praise is also due to Róbert Remeselník, whose performance as Leopold was clearly superior to that of the guest performer in the premiere. His brighter tenor voice sounds increasingly firm and focused; he handled the high notes with ease and, as an actor, fully embodied the director’s vision of a weak-willed prince who often hides under the table, or, in Konwitschny’s interpretation, an imperial general.

Both performers of Triquet made an impression: Pavol Mucha, with his refined tone, and Róbert Remeselník, with his resonant voice; the second of them revealed his character’s deceitful nature in the brief etude.

Janáček’s song cycle „The Diary of One Who Disappeared“ demands a performer who possesses a resonant, colorful voice with a wide range, and who is also capable of presenting the work not as a collection of individual songs, but as a dramaturgically cohesive whole, rich in emotion and expressive nuance. Martin Bendik found such a performer in Róbert Remeselník, who (perhaps with the exception of the second brief high C—with which the composer, showing little empathy for future performers, concluded his cycle) gave The Diary of One Who Disappeared the treatment it deserves. His voice has vitality, brilliance, and warmth, though the expressive dimensions suit him slightly better than the lyrical ones. Among the most beautiful moments were those offering space for a broad-breathed, flowing phrase (The magpie flies, flies) or sharply accented diction (Dark alder grove, cold spring; I don’t care about anything now).
