Endrik Wottrich
“One role was magnificently characterized, largely because it was the best sung: Florestan by Endrik Wottrich (making his very welcome Covent Garden début). From the back of the darkened stage at the beginning of Act 2 he managed magnificently to convey his desperation and sehnsucht lifted only by his vision of the "Engel Leonora". Wottrich transformed the routine into the remarkable, and from that moment the production took on a new life.” Fidelio, Covent Garden; The Times.
