ReviewsAnna Bolena"As Percy, Anna's old flame, lured back to England as part of a cunning plan to trap them both, Luciano Botelho's high-lying tenor and dramatic impetuosity prove a winning combination." George Hall - 15/03/2008 The Guardian
L'Elisir d'Amore“Luciano Botelho embodies a tender, sensitive and funny Nemorino. The warmth of his tone and his ease voice won the support. Witness the beautiful air “Una furtiva lagrima” sumptuously immortalized by another Luciano, next to whom Botelho does not pale" Laurence Le Diagon-Jacquin - 01/03/2010 www.resmusica.com

"The role of Chalais was sung by Luciano Botelho, a young tenor who – to judge by this performance – has a very bright future ahead of him. The audience was as smitten as Maria from the moment he strode onto the stage to deliver his first aria. Botelho has a bright, clarion lyric tenor voice; a bit on the small side, but agile and under complete control – I couldn’t resist fantasizing his re-creating some of the forgotten Rubini roles. His technique is simply terrific, his approach to singing restrained yet passionate. This is a tenor who doesn’t need to belt every note – and Botelho has them up to d-flat. However, when he partnered with Scott Bearden’s enormous baritone, the voice was clear and bright enough to hold its own." Dan Foley - Donizetti Society Octobet 2010 - The newsletter No.111
La Cenerentola"Luciano Botelho as her suitor Ramiro confirmed that he has the makings of a front-ranking bel canto tenor." Rupert Christiansen - 15/10/2010 The Daily Telegraph
Orphée et Euridice"The leading singer Luciano Botelho as Orphée caused also enthusiasm with his poetic and playful internalized study as a young man who doesn't avoid any danger in the battle for his love. His virtuosity reaches so far that extreme sounds can be laid out as a consequence of the highest expressiveness." Udo Klebes - 09/09/2011 - der neuer Merker
