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

"Orpheus needs to touch the Gods (and the audience) with his noble singing: The young Brazilian Tenor Luciano Botelho succeeds excellently; he faces the dificult coloratura aria bravely."

Jürgen Kanold - 29/06/2009 Südwest Aktiv

"On his way to Hades, the young Brazilian high tenor, Luciano Botelho masters the huge difficulties of this role with virtuosity and elegance."

Martina Wohlthat - 29/06/2009 Neue Zürcher Zeitung

"The young Brazilian tenor Luciano Botelho, acts and sings it with deadly mourning distress, slightly neurotic anti-hero, vividly, touching and emotionally."

Verena Grosskreutz - 01/07/2009 NMZ - Neue Musikzeitung

"Musically the production doesn't leave any wish unfulfilled. Luciano Botelho can be celebrated for his expressive interpretation of Orpheo that was delivered in perfect pitch and in a tonal beauty."
