OTHELLO - SASSARI, JULY 2024

And then there is he, the real dark element: Jago, the ensign, singed and played by baritone Marco Caria. The beautiful voice with a burnished timbre is rich in color. Insinuating, vicious, slimy and opportunistic. In him is everything that makes Jago the perverse manipulator that he is.
She flatters Othello, tricks him, causes him to doubt Desdemona's fidelity. She plots against Cassio. The voice adapts to situations like the skin of a chameleon. It becomes subtle and mellifluous to deceive Othello, proud and powerful in Credo in un Dio crudel... aria in which it arrogantly tells of its pettiness, masculine and complicit in dialogues with the officer Cassio.

Loredana Atzei, «The Eastern Theaters.»

But the center of gravity of the opera was entrusted to him, Marco Caria's Jago, rightly considered one of the most interesting voices on the international opera scene, who vigorously respected Verdi's accurate baritone writing.

Myriam Quaquero, «The Classical Music Review.»

The treacherous bishop Jago, played by the excellent baritone Marco Caria (was Tonio in Pagliacci).

Luigi Coppola, «City and City magazine»

Baritone Marco Caria (Jago) and soprano Angela Nisi (Desdemona) portrayed the other two characters in the “triangle” of protagonists: one with perfidy the other with purity, both with confidence.

Giampiero Marras, «The Sardinian Union.»

...Marco Caria, a baritone bass who is now a guarantee for the Ente Concerti since La Traviata in 2022 (an excellent Germont padre) and then last year Tonio in Pagliacci and in Nabucco.
