“Baritone Marco Caria (Enrico), who serves as a third wheel as Lucia's cruel brother and Edgardo's implacable antagonist , deserves credit for effectively reconciling the character's viciousness with the elegance befitting the romantic baritone (the one that, with good grace of the Verdians, it was Donizetti who first pioneered).”.
“Marco Caria sports an important vocal mezzo with a really fine timbre. Being the only Italian in the cast benefits him in no small way in terms of accent and phrasing, which are always right and relevant. He succeeds in rendering a multifaceted and interpretively diverse Lord Enrico, who often goes beyond the stereotypical villain to which this character is usually relegated. The Sardinian baritone finds accents of grim frustration in the Cruda, funereal eagerness and overbearing aggression in the Se tradirmi tu potrai in the duet with Lucia.”.
