Jorma Silvasti
"The tenor, Jorma Silvasti, was an impulsive and pitiable Laca."
– The New York Times
"Silvasti, who has previously sung Laca in other productions, was very much at home with the role both vocal and dramatic terms, creating a clumsy, kind-hearted but doomed man."
– St. Petersburg Times
"As the resentful, misguided but loving Laca, tenor Jorma Silvsti, too offered a complete portrait. The mood changes were all there and his essentially lyric voice has taken on a fine heft."
– Classics Today
"As the despicable Steva, Jorma Silvasti could not have been better."
– The Beverly Hills Outlook
