"Last night's performance of CARMEN really cooked. Vladimir Samsonov, the swaggering toreador Escamillo, seemed to be having fun and acted with supreme self-congratulation that fits his character.

Another worthy performance came from Vladimir Samsonov, who seemed to really enjoy the role of the Matador. He sang well and strutted his stuff in a hammy sort of way that was infectious and suitable for the part.. "
