"Luciano Botelho succeeds in acting the brute while singing with smooth elegance as Elvino"
Shirley Apthorp - 24/01/2012 Financial Times
"Luciano Botelhos Elvino, her (Amina) temperamental future groom, possesses a pleasant and powerful lyrical tenor"
Gerhard Rohde – 24/01/2012 Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
"Luciano Botelho, the skilled, soft-singing tenor at home with the higher tones at her side who invests in the tone colour and rendition of what is a one-dimensional Elvino"
Susanne Benda – 24/12/2012 Stuttgarter Nachrichten
"Luciano Botelho is a soft, sweet-voiced Elvino."
Joachim Lange 24/01/2012 – Die deutsche buhne
"Luciano Botelho as Elvino is highly cultured and beautifully presented"
Stefan M. Dettlinger 24/01/2012 Mannheim Morgen
"The young pair of lovers set off into the minefields of life. Elvino is a nouveau riche landowner, emotionally insecure and a macho in the making; Luciano has a weightless high tenor voice with every imaginable brilliance, merging passion with credulity."
Reinhard Brembeck 24/01/2012 Süddeutsche Zeitung
"And Luciano Botelho is the silky tenor and rich husband Elvino: uncertain in his being and thus prone to spurning - the way a man is."
Peter Hagmann - 25/01/2012 Neue Zürcher Zeitung
"Amina’s groom, Elvino, is viewed by the stage director as an adolescent lightweight so that the slim, beautifully timbred tenor voice of Luciano Botelho was very well suited, also in his acting he portrays well the lanky fellow."
Gerhard Dörr 25/01/2012 Opernfreund
