Fra Poco Me Ricovero Audio
Mathew Habib, Tenor
“But the real star of the stage on opening night is someone else: tenor Mathew Habib, who makes his debut as Count Boni as a member of the Mainfranken Theater ensemble. Boni is a would-be bon vivant, he is cuddly and clumsy. Habib realizes this with gifted comedic talent. He repeatedly puffs out his cheeks in despair and rolls his eyes in anticipation of staggering into the next catastrophe. His accent makes the American even more charming in the role.”- Main-Echo
