“Kristopher Irmiter as Rucker Lattimore was a large and personable
presence, his bass-baritone alternately stentorian and tender.”
-Opera Now
“Utah Opera's "Cold Sassy Tree," boasts a strong cast. All of the
singers, from the leads to the smallest roles are well-suited to their
respective parts. Soprano Jessica Jones, as Love Simpson, is
radiant, and bass-baritone Kristopher Irmiter is particularly striking
as Rucker Lattimore. And in their many scenes together, Jones and
Irmiter are simply stunning.
-The Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
“Irmiter, as Rucker, was perhaps the best at delivering these
colloquialisms, with good comic timing and emphasis. His deep
bass-baritone voice had a booming, decisive quality to it that was
ideal for the stubborn character.”
-Omaha World-Herald
“Remarkable performances from three dynamic leads bring this story of
love and loss to life. Bass-baritone Kristopher Irmiter is Rucker
Lattimore, who scandalizes turn-of-the-century Cold Sassy Tree, Ga., by
marrying a much younger woman just three weeks after burying his wife.
It is a business arrangement that blooms into something touching and
profound, and Irmiter beautifully portrays the
transformation.”
-The Salt Lake Tribune
“A huge cast performed with unbelievable adeptness ... Kristopher
Irmiter was commanding in the lead role of Rucker.”
-Kansas City Star
