“Bogdanov is a wonderful Sharpless, his voice carrying at once the weight of authority and the concern of someone who truly cares about Butterfly’s fate, even as he is helpless to change it.”
James D. Watts Jr., Tulsa World, 2020 - Sharpless in 'Madama Butterfly' at Tulsa Opera
“... the work is a formidable showcase for the right bass, and Bogdanov rose to the occasion gloriously. His beautiful lyric voice seemed voluminous, and he generated great pathos through a potentially repellant character.”
Mark Thomas Ketterson, Opera News, 2019
