As Ping in Turandot: Samuel Mungo's Ping was a minister with a warmly rounder vocal portfolio.
Opera
As Mercutio in Roméo et Juliette: Samuel Mungo was a standout as Mercutio. His strong baritone voice was quick and light in his Queen Mab song, but there was also a darker quality that hinted at the character¹s dangerous side.
Virginia Pilot
As Danilo in The Merry Widow: The stand out was Samuel Mungo as Danilo. He has everything: a powerful virile baritone well equalized throughout its range, charismatic acting ability, and ready sexy good looks. He made Danilo a sympathetic person rather than the playboy drunkard the text paints. Sacramento Opera Association should invite him back before he becomes more famous and more expensive.
