Luciano Botelho   Opera Singer 

"The Brazilian tenor, Luciano Botelho, has astonishing condition. As Percy  he maintains the passionate furor in this romantic opera hero from beginning to end at boiling point. And the amazing flexibility with which he uses the upper register, the falsetto, shows him to be as a master of the bel canto technique and can again pour into a single vocal line the typical Donizetti mix of lyrical smoothness and dramatic power" Deutschlandradio Kultur – Ulrike Gondorf 17/2/2013

"The tenor role of Lord Riccardo Percy is kept fully under control by Luciano Botelho in a wonderful manner.  Differentiated and alternating between the layers, his singing is full of  naturalness and he masters even the higher sounds flawlessly. Admittedly at the expense of the volume, but this remains without consequence in Anna Bolena. As a character he is brilliantly cast." Michael S. Zerban - Opernnetz 17/2/2013

"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 - The Guardian 15/03/2008"the Brazilian tenor Luciano Botelho sounds purer and sweeter the higher he soars" Michael Church - The Independent 18/03/2008
