Luciano Botelho Opera Singer
"Luciano Botelho (Don Ramiro) had a bel canto delivery to die for, with top Ds easily in his range"
Philip R Buttall - www.southwestshows.co.uk 25/11/2010
"Don Ramiro also has some showpiece arias, and Luciano Botelho carries these off with ease; his study of the prince suggests a young man just growing into emotional as well as intellectual maturity." Anne Morley-Priestman - www.whatsonstage.com 27/11/2010
"Luciano Botelho sings the role of Don Ramiro with a crystal clear, firm and confident voice, delivered in a fine, flowing performance with beautiful high notes." Jayme Estapà - Opera Actual 01/01/2009
"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
"Luciano Botelho en tant que prince-valet étonne par son timbre léger mais corsé et capable d’aigus en force laissant l’auditeur impressionné. Avec lui, le Prince de Salerne Don Ramiro prend une belle dimension, grâce à une présence vocale et physique évitant cette fadeur et cette inconsistance guettant les ténors légers des opéras bouffes de Rossini."

FESTIVAL AMAZONAS DE ÓPERA, Teatro Amazonas, Manaus (Revista Epoca 03/2003)
As óperas La Cenerentola (A Cinderela), de Rossini, e Pagliacci, de Leoncavallo, e a sinfonia dramática Romeu e Julieta, de Berlioz, encerram o Festival Amazonas, com récitas neste e no próximo fim de semana. Para os fãs do teatro lírico, são as produções originais mais esperadas. O maestro e diretor artístico Luiz Fernando Malheiro rege nesta quinta-feira a sinfonia e no domingo Pagliacci. Nos dias 18, 21 e 23, acontece La Cenerentola, em versão ecologicamente correta, com cenários de material reciclado. Na regência da Orquestra de Câmara do Amazonas está Marcelo de Jesus. A meio-soprano Denise de Freitas (Angelina, a borralheira) canta com o tenor Luciano Botelho (Ramiro) e o baixo Pepes do Valle (Magnífico). Em sua sétima edição, o evento já se tornou o principal no gênero fora do circuito Rio—São Paulo, com um público de quase 12 mil pessoas nas duas primeiras semanas. O bel canto invadiu a floresta.
