Young tenor Emlyn, meanwhile, is poached by Covent Garden – by no means an unknown trajectory, and certainly a credible one, given Adam Gilbert’s impressive voice.

The English tenor Adam Gilbert makes a lasting impression with his piercing and lustrous voice a Father attentive to his daughter and, above all, to his own interests.
Rodolfo in La Boheme for ENO
Opera Online
Gilbert sang tremendously well with his full and expansive tenor really coming to the fore,...it was remarkable what he achieved when preparation time was clearly limited. One could hear him softening his sound at the end of ‘Addio dolce svegliare alla mattina!’ to ensure it did not overwhelm Mimì’s as she was positioned much further down the stage, and it would be good if he could play Rodolfo in full himself one day.

David Junghoon Kim was alas unable to sing Rodolfo, though continued to act it, Adam Gilbert making an excellent replacement from the wings.
Rodolfo in La Boheme for ENO
Klassik Begeistert
The Korean tenor complained of acute indisposition immediately before the performance on February 5th - and that is why the excellent Englishman Adam Gilbert, graduate of the renowned Guildhall School of Music, on the left edge of the stage portal as Rodolfo, while the Korean mimed the mute lover. Vocally Gilbert mastered the part flawlessly. You will still hear from him as a tenor at the ENO.

...the Queen of Hearts. Maximising the “Off with their heads!” moments, Adam Gilbert’s Queen is suitably over-the-top.

...yet stealing the show is Adam Gilbert as the Queen of Hearts, an especially robust and absurd role.
