Nice robust voice; bit of a wobble at points, but so much better than the other tenors who've sung Cavaradossi at the Met the past few years.

[mannail]

Hard to believe that lyric arts has sunk so low.

[mildredgrossman]

He has a very good voice....Tim McDonald to prevent
a wobble do not force the voice. Bel Canto
technique and the breathing will prevent this.

[rdargenio]

Sounds like Kauffman redux. Constricted voice. Open your throat man!

[jorgemunoz]

Correcto y con un timbre realmente bello pero carente de un alma más profunda para dar mayor dramatismo con una voz más trabajada en el legato y el fraseo.

[lifeisgood]

Not the right voice for Mario Cavaradossi.

[ЕкатеринаВикторовна-мш]

Голос красивый. Но я всех сравниваю с Марио Дель Монако, Франко Корелли. Убеждаюсь, что замена пока не пришла.

[jiminygerry]

La voix bouge et chevrotte …. Corelli, où es-tu ?

[stefanodeldotto]

La voce c'è, e non è poco al giorno d'oggi, ma non deve spingere non la deve ingrossare artificialmente

[ESilva-gwig]

Excellent in every way. Far better than many superstars singing this role these days.

[walterharper]

pushing in the upper range will get him into trouble otherwise beautiful voice

[Nehoshetaduma]

The most handsome Cavaradossi I have seen )

[casch]

Voix qui demande plus de maturité. Belles qualités vocales.

[davidrodrick]

Understand he trained as a baritone. So understandably struggles a bit in the upper register

[rnerse]

A good voice… but flat and with a wobble…..

[LordMgls]

i hear the complains about excess wobble and lack of expression; for me those are still outweighed by the fact that he actually sings and (from the recording) seems to actually throw his voice at the audience - instead of singing "economically" like many of today's opera doucheba... superstars.

[tenorotti]

He's already wobbling. Pretty bad.

[nicolehourcade]

Stunning voice, very moving moment.
I heard him in Carmen in France, he was excellent.🤩🎶🎶

[catherinecozzano]

Nice voice but he overdoes it too much.

[jamesa]

overacting .. just stay still and sing, be more authentic
