Dominic debuted as Duca di Mantua in Rigoletto in 2007 with Den Jyske Opera (Danish National Opera) in a production directed by Olivia Fuchs and conducted by Giordano Bellincampi which premiered in Sønderborg, Denmark then toured extensively throughout Denmark including the new Royal Opera House in Copenhagen. Listen to "La Donna é mobile" here He has since performed in several other productions including a rather thrown together charity performance in Chiavari Italy in 2008 where he arrived at midnight on the Sunday and had the performance on Tuesday evening! Much to his surprise he found once he walked out on stage for his first entrance in the performance that it was being TELEVISED! To view a few clips from the performance click here!

“DN has exactly the right voice for the Duke…”
Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten John Christiansen
“DN, a regular guest with DJO, sang the Duke with a shining and radiant tenor voice…”
Arhus Stiftstidende Ole Staarup 7/10/2007
“DN, like Pavarotti, can sing the role of the Duke with great conviction, he is the right tenor for the Duke”
“The international tenor DN, who has appeared with DJO many times before, sings the “female-friendly” Duke with convincing cynicism, vocalism, and presence.”
Politiken Jan Jacoby
"DN’s italianate tenor is strong and he sings “la donna è mobile”, perhaps the best known tenor aria in opera, with striking energy and cynicism, a first class performance.”
Vejle Amts Folkeblad Erik Andresen 18/10/2007
“Italian tenor DN, sings the Duke which is a role that comes naturally from the core of his being in a testosterone charged performance.”
Landsdækkendedagblade Peter Johannes Erichsen 2/11/2007
