Ante Jerkunica ( Sparafucile) last seen at Seattle Opera in The Magic Flute

This August, Croatian bass Ante Jerkunica portrays the heartless assassin Sparafucile in Verdi s moody melodrama. Jerkunica made his Seattle Opera debut as the enigmatic but (mostly) benevolent priest Sarastro in our May 2017 revival of Mozart s Magic Flute which featured memorable costumes by Zandra Rhodes. In this excerpt from the aria In diesen heil gen Hallen, Sarastro assures a conflicted Pamina that revenge and cruelty have no place in his domain.
