Bravo to the performer of this marvelous aria. He is the youngest Sarastro I have ever heard.

[@---.-----]

I'm 23 and I also play Sarastro. My teacher says my voice is rare, but I'm a beginner. What is the normal age in which people play Sarastro?

[@zsuzsannahallin8695]

Congratulations that you have great bass voice. The character of Sarastro in The Magic Flute is a man who is old enough to be Pamina’s father and the leader of his group.

[@gabykogut6462]

gorgeous voice, amazing facility in the low notes, but I'd like more emotional expression.

[@cbrown6660]

William Thomas is so bae.... just saying!

[@gerlindemayer9645]

Gut gesungen. Es fehlt ein wenig die Freiheit, was zum Teil vom Orchester kommt, welches viel zu „korrekt“ spielt. Der Sänger muss immer führen, nicht der Dirigent. Das tiefe E am Schluss hat Mozart nicht geschrieben. Es passt auch nicht, aber ok, man kann es zeigen, um es zu zeigen

[@ydduar5932]

Good voice, bad version.

[@misscameroon8062]

Lovely....
