In its review, Britain's The Guardian praised Zapiór's performance, describing him as "a properly baritonal Aeneas, a worthy lover and sparring partner, a hero almost worth dying for".
The Arts Desk said his voice was "so resonant, it sounded as if it were coming from the depths of a vast schooner."
Bachtrack praised the Polish baritone's "rich timbre", while the blog A Young(ish) Perspective wrote that his partnership with Karima El Demerdasch in the part of Dido was "as compelling as the sorrowful melodies expressing their grief and trauma."
Following two performances beneath the hull of the Cutty Sark, a historic British tea clipper built in 1869 located in Greenwich, the production is set to be presented on 4 June at the Bergen International Festival in Norway.
Zapiór, 33, is a graduate of The Juilliard School in New York, where he studied with Edith Wiens, winning an Artist Diploma in Opera Studies in 2019.
He earlier graduated from the Chopin Music Academy and the Drama Academy in Warsaw.
He is currently a member of the Komische Oper in Berlin, where he performs leading roles in Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro (Count Almaviva), Die Zauberflöte (Papageno), and Così fan tutte (Guglielmo), the title role in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, and the part of Marcello in Puccini's La Bohème.
