Reviews

Tebaldo (V. Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi)

Tenoralen Glanz verbreitete Marco Lee als Romeos Gegenspieler Tebaldo.

Der Opernfreund (Gerhard Eckels), November 2023

Cassio (G. Verdi's Otello) 

Marco Lee was thus a strong, lively, and convincing Cassio.

Seen and Heard International (Daniel Meyer-Dinkgräfe), January 2024
