Arnold
Rutkowski

..vocally has a strong upper register more Otello than Cassio in color....
...Szymanowski’s equivalent of Lohengrin’s “In Fernem Land” had evenness of tone...

Without a doubt, the highlight of the night was tenor Arnold Rutkowski's portrayal of Alfredo. With flawless intonation and diction, searing passion, and a bright, dynamic tone, one could not have asked for more from Rutkowski's showstopping Alfredo. Throughout his vocal range, Rutkowski was proficient and confident, which made Alfredo an easy character to engage with. He displayed particular vocal fortitude and youthful vigor in his Act II cabaletta "De'miei Bollenti Spiriti."

“Rutkowski possesses a lyrically strong, warm, passionate voice that suited Carlo’s nature perfectly and was illustrated delightfully in his opening Act one romance and in the famous duet with Rodrigo…. It is also a resonant voice that he can push upwards powerfully without losing quality, which he displayed with some fabulous ensemble singing…”

Arnold Rutkowski is vocally and physically an elegant Pollione. What he performs really deserves the name bel canto.

Arnold Rutkowski's fire in the big argument with Santuzza blazed mightily, in the drinking song he made the “What does the world cost” arrogance clear, and the farewell to his mother, sang with far- reaching depth, was moving.

"Arnold Rutkowski, the great Rodolfo from last seasons La Boheme is equally exciting in the role of Pinkerton, and confirms the expectations we placed in him. Tonight once again, the polish tenor proved his vocal and acting skills, and easily gained recognition. He created an attractive, suitable character and vocal line with supremely refined acute hitting and performed an almost sympathetic Pinkerton, in his disarming youthful recklessness."

Opéra de Toulon, Rodolfo - La Bohème

“...from the very beginning, nothing needs to be added to the soloist's singing, the performance sounds full, expressive and intense from the very first bars. This was Arnold Rutkowski's performance until the end of the show (and we must remind you again about the monumental dimensions of "Don Carlo”)”

The Polish tenor Arnold Rutkowski (Rodolfo), gave us an great pleasure . He added fire and ardor to the hero, infusing the lines with all the necessary poetry and sensuality for this deeply enamored lover. Gifted with a seductive timbre, his vocal line combines elegance and an irresistible shine. His "Mimi, Mimi" in the last chords, gave an intense thrill to the listeners. In short, a real discovery!

"The young and talented tenor Arnold Rutkowski sang a self confident Duke of Mantua. His voice sounded strong and impressively confident, his pitch was excellent and not even forced once, and his lines he phrased highly expressive. It wouldn't surprise me that in the coming time he will go on bigger stages."
