Erl Festival -
La bohème
Kleinezeitung.at
„Che gelida manina“ („Wie eiskalt ist das Händchen“): Bereits mit der ersten großen Arie des Rodolfo kann Long Long, der Shootingstar der Tenor-Szene, faszinieren. Eine Faszination, die sich im Laufe des Abends noch steigert, denn der kurzfristig eingesprungene Chinese beeindruckt in Giacomo Puccinis „La Bohème“ in Erl mit subtilen Lyrismen, feinem Schmelz, absoluter Höhensicherheit und großer Leidenschaft

Der Chinese Tenor Long Long bringt für den jungen Poeten Rodolfo eine tragfähige Tenorstimme mit, der man bei aller Durchschlagskraft die lyrische Vergangenheit zum Glück ebenso anhört wie der Mimì von Sara Cortolezzi. Dies kommt vor allem dem großen Liebesduett zugute, das die beiden in zartem Pianissimo ausklingen lassen

Der Chinese gilt als Shooting Star unter den lyrischen Tenören und ist Münchnern womöglich nicht ganz unbekannt, weil er seinen letzten Schliff zwischen 2017 und 2019 am Opernstudio der Bayerischen Staatsoper erhielt.Long Long hat eine starke Bühnenpräsenz. Seine schön geführte Stimme hat eine metallische Note, wie sie dem italienischen Geschmack entspricht. Die setzt er ohne Drücker und Schluchzer ein. Was sympathisch ist

My Scena
The COC has cast a winning duo of young Chinese singers making their Canadian debuts in the lead roles. Tenor Long Long (not to be confused with the famed pianist Lang Lang) is a natural Faust, with a golden sound that carries even in pianissimo. His versatile range soars from a deep baritone to glorious high Bs and Cs. His “Salut demeure chaste et pure” is a fine showcase of his nimble instrument. Also an expressive actor, his displays of despair, fervent love and grief are convincing

The Star
Thankfully, the COC has assembled a superb cast. Tenor Long, who earlier this year won the Maria Callas Debut Artist of the Year award by the Dallas Opera after singing another Gounod role, exudes both passionate ardour and philosophical wonder as the title character

Opera Canada
On opening night, Long sang with a splendid lyric tenor of volume and beauty, a totally secure top, with a plangent top C in his big aria. Also of note was his ability to toss off a high B diminuendo, something that few tenors dare to attempt
