The best thing I saw in 2025 was Amartuvshin Enkhbat

I wasn’t alive during the golden age of Verdi baritones like MacNeil, Warren, or Gobbi, but hearing Amartuvshin Enkhbat live in an opera house must be the next best thing.

His Rigoletto was everything I could have hoped for. Tonally and Dramatically perfect, with waves of sound hitting me square in the face.
