A BAD THING.
onstage

In a vocal category associated with ancient priests and irate giants, Rene Pape is an operatic rarity: the bass as romantic hero. Though it does no harm that Pape is young and appealing--goofy posing aside--his seductiveness derives from a voice that combines dark power with uncanny lyric grace, and from performances of intense emotional conviction. In recent Metropolitan Opera seasons, his noble portrayal of King Marke in "Tristan und Isolde" made the soprano's preference for the tenor seem sheer folly. When he took on the weary old knight Gurnemanz, in "Parsifal," a role that depends on lengthy narrative exposition, the rich colors of his voice--its blackest depths are tinted green and gold--turned declamation into song.
