    • Kyle Miller relished his role as the Sensor, playing up the comedy as best as he could and delivering with a rich and sonorous baritone

    • Son personnage d’ado attardé tranche aussi avec une voix mûre, où les résonnances de tête équilibrent un timbre clair et non vibré. Ses tenues maîtrisées et son intonation très précise s'allient en de mémorables moments.

    • What got me about this stunning young baritone was not his clarity (each Russian syllable so clear) or his splendid voice. But that he managed to actually present a Russian sound, a Slavic euphony to his voice. That, as much as the aphoristic melodies, made this such an enchanting experience
