Reinald Werrenrath argues restraint is the singer’s chief need in a recital at Beethoven Hall on Monday. He contrasts concert work with opera, noting concert focuses on tone quality and fineness, while opera emphasizes broad dramatic effects. He recalls his Farrar collaboration and explains why he favors concert performance over joining a company.
