IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA

In his return to Teatro La Fenice for another season of Il barbiere di Siviglia, Julian Kim once again took on the role of Figaro in Bepi Morassi’s signature staging for the house. His Figaro was praised for combining vocal strength with an engaging theatrical presence — a performance marked by boldness, comic flair, and youthful energy. Critics highlighted his clear voice, beautiful timbre, and wide vocal range, as well as his natural sense of humor and irresistible stage charisma. With each appearance, Kim further solidified his place in this iconic Venetian production.

"Julian Kim playing Figaro has a great baritone and nice sense of humour, which veers into slapstick."

Il Barbiere di Siviglia

British Theatre Guide

"Affinché tutto in scena funzioni, però, servono interpreti disinvolti, convinti e musicalmente adeguati. Anche qui ci siamo. Domina il cast il Figaro spavaldo e giovanilissimo di Julian Kim: il baritono coreano mette in piedi e supporta un personaggio incontenibile per mezzo di una cantabilità spavalda e luminosa, e d'una presenza scenica irresistibile."

"For everything to work on stage, it requires performers who are confident, convincing, and musically appropriate. In this case, we have exactly that. Dominating the cast is Julian Kim's bold and youthful Figaro: the Korean baritone creates and embodies an irrepressible character through daring and radiant singing, as well as an irresistible stage presence."

IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA: Un classico che non tramonta: il Barbiere di Siviglia nella rilettura di Bepi Morassi

TEATRO.it

"Ottimi i baritoni Julian Kim e Omar Montanari, rispettivamente Figaro e Don Bartolo. Il primo restituisce un barbiere assai valido, della cui voce rimangono impresse la limpidezza, il bel timbro e l’ampia estensione."

"Julian Kim and Omar Montanari are excellent as Figaro and Don Bartolo, respectively. The former delivers a strong portrayal of the barber, leaving an impression with his clear voice, beautiful timbre, and wide vocal range."
