Bellini - La Sonnambula

“Luciano Botelho, the lightweight Brazilian tenor who already starred as Stuttgart's Orphée (in the French version of Gluck's opera), managed rather handsomely in Elvino's stratospheric flights of fancy.” 

Horst Koegler - Opera Magazine April, 2012

 

"Luciano Botelho succeeds in acting the brute while singing with smooth elegance as Elvino." 

Shirley Apthorp - Financial Times 24/01/2012

 

"The young pair of lovers set off into the mine fields 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 - Süddeutsche Zeitung 24/01/2012

"Amina's First Act duet (Prendi, l'anel ti dono) with Elvino, brilliantly portrayed by Luciano Botelho, is another great success. Botelho is obviously another talent to watch." 

Robert Cummings, Classicalnet 06/05/2014

 

“A fine actor, tenor Luciano Botelho makes a complex figure of her fiance, Elvino.”

BBC Music Magazine, May 2014 *****

"Luciano Botelho sings elegantly and matches her for dramatic complexity as Elvino.” Katherine Cooper, Presto Classical, October 2014

 

"Luciano Botelho has the necessary high notes and flexibility for Elvino as well as the ability to sweeten his tone when required" John Sheppard  Musicweb April 2014
