Testimonials

When Enes Pektas took the stage to sing “Hai già vinta la causa,” His voice, a booming, theater-filling sound, commanded attention from the moment he began singing.

Even more impressive, the confidence and ease with which he sang gave the impression that Pektas was at home on stage. He sang and moved with intention, his unique instrument on full display.

As the Don, Enes Pektas shone. He embodied the stubborn and rapacious nature of the aristocrat. His boldness in the face of the Commendatore and nonchalance regarding his eternity rivaled any well-played Don.
