Luciano Botelho   Opera Singer 

“I found the singing to be of a high quality, with the main characters - Northern Irish baritone Bruno Caproni in the title role, soprano Emma Nash as Gilda and Botelho, particularly outstanding. Credible emotive context was sometimes lacking but I suppose it is somewhat unfair to expect a performer to be a wonderful opera singer and an equally wonderful actor. Botelho, however, did very well in both categories as the epitome of vanity”

“even stripped to his blue briefs, Luciano Botelho is the clear-voiced swaggering braggart Duke.”

Independent, Pat O’Keilly 25/05/2015

“Luciano Botelho, as Duke, who regularly gets to display his torso and his undies, has a lyrical, not a heavyweight, voice that’s impressive.”

Irish Mail, Michael Moffat 24/05/2015

"In Luciano Botelho there is an efficient, heartless Duke, who shows a cruel blend of vocal appeal and reprehensive behaviour"

Michael Dervan - The Irish Times 17/05/2015

"Luciano Botelho, Brazilian tenor singing the role of the Duke of Mantua shows since the beginning real vocal qualities and imposes a handsome character."
