TOSCA - SASSARI, NOVEMBER 2024

“Excellent performance by baritone Marco Caria who brought to the stage a torrid Scarpia drawn to perfection by a powerful voice with a beautiful dark timbre and a magnetic stage presence.” «La Nuova Sardegna» “The performer who best understood the necessity of this need to insert voices in a way...

OTHELLO - SASSARI, JULY 2024

author

“And then there is he, the real dark element: Jago, the Bishop, played by baritone Marco Caria. The beautiful voice with a burnished timbre is rich in color. Insinuating, fierce, slimy and opportunistic. In him there is everything that makes Jago the perverse manipulator that he is.He flatters Othello, circles him, induces him to...

LA BOHEME - TOKYO SPRING FESTIVAL, APRIL 2024

author

“First of all, Marco Caria in the role of Marcello was distinguished by a deep and warm vocal line, with full and even resonance, capable of spreading evenly throughout the hall. His singing, always firm and controlled, is striking in its precision and measure, touching every accent naturally. A...

NABUCCO - SASSARI, DECEMBER 2023

author

“Sardinian baritone Marco Caria made his debut in the title role offering a mature and very heartfelt interpretation of his character, both from an acting and vocal point of view, drawing an extremely convincing Nabucco rich in color and personality.” «The Sardinian Drummer» “Marco Caria's Nabucco was excellent (for him...

La traviata - Teatro dell'Opera di Roma / Terme di Caracalla, 2023

author

“In this context, the role of the baritone does not take on a particularly positive character: in fact, he represents the interests of the family -- an institution that is ill at times -- and, at the same time, those of the primitive horde, now channeled into a society as respectable as that of the mid-19th century. However, played by Marco Caria, the character...

LA CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA - SASSARI, JUNE 2023

author

“Marco Caria draws well a modern Alfio, restrained and composed, different from certain ranting and truculent caricatures of so-called tradition. On the contrary, the suppressed anger and the fineness of the vocal nuances give his character a three-dimensionality that no caricature could ever have; of particular note is the understated finale that charges...

La traviata - Municipal Theater of Sassari, December 2022

author

“On the other hand, the performance of Marco Caria from Sassari, in the part of Germont padre, was remarkable for expression, vocal beauty and variety of accents: excellent in the duet with Violetta, he disembarks well from the insidious anadiploses in Di Provenza il mare, il suol... The mid-acoustic register, burnished and sonorous, is his best weapon...”....

Simon Boccanegra - Teatro Massimo di Palermo, FEBRUARY 2022

“The most psychologically interesting role, and best played, from my point of view, during both evenings, was Marco Caria's Paolo Albiani. The baritone, enjoying a particular softness in his emission and perfect diction, embodied the Mephistophelean character who seems a precursor to...

“Marco Caria plays an excellent Amonasro, on the strength of a well-timed and extended voice and an interpretive line that banishes any verismo-like excess to restore the character to the necessary dignity of a defeated king and father eager for revenge.” Domenico Ciccone, OperaClick “More technically polished is baritone Marco...

Pagliacci - Teatro Lirico di Cagliari, February-March 2020

“Drawing in the opening prologue - sung with adequate display of agri accents and brilliant high notes - Marco Caria lends his fine baritone voice to a sour and satanic Tonio, all played out on the equation between physical deformity and inner perfidy.” Carlo Dore, OperaClick The review refers to the “premiere” of the 28...

“A polite Amonasro that of Marco Caria, free from barbarisms that deviate the character from Veridan's accurate baritone writing.” “Opera,” Vincenzo Grisostami Travaglini “More than discreet Marco Caria as Amonasro: the vocal range was just right to accurately sketch the personality of Aida's father, without forgetting the vigorous phrasing...

Andrea Chénier - Le Grand Théâtre de Tours, May 2019

“Marco Caria shows himself in dazzling vocal form. Gérard, unlike Chénier, can do without the second degree. With an extended voice, well legato and rightly timbral, neither too dark nor too light, the baritone opens without difficulty a passage in the foreground.” Christophe Rizoud for.

La traviata - Rome Opera House, January 2019

“Marco Caria thrilled with his Giorgio Germont, who imposed himself “on tiptoe.” One always expects nuances, softness, insinuating accents from this character, and the Sardinian baritone showed them all off. The duets with Violetta went off smoothly, not forgetting the deep and...

Rigoletto - Cagliari Opera House, 12/23/2018

author

“Marco Caria voices a sensational Rigoletto, which could not have been portrayed better than this. With his powerful and strong singing he engages the audience in the vicissitudes of the court jester, moreover, also through his movements and expressions, he shows that he can fully identify with the character.” Giampaolo Sanna,...

“Arriving practically at the last moment, Marco Caria fits very well into the stage play and just as well in rendering with song an extremely multifaceted character, thanks to a skillful use of phrasing. The voice is of appropriate color and breadth for the role, and is appreciated as much in the more concussive moments of the...

“Baritone Marco Caria loved to show off his considerable volume and confident, well-timed high notes, resulting in a fine duet with Gulnara in Act III, in which he emphasized first the mellifluous irony of the words and then the violent explosion of jealousy.” Ugo Bedeschi, OperaClick The review refers to...

L'Elisir d'amore - Wiener Staatsoper, June 2017

“Marco Caria evidently loves the “high peaks”-inserting a few high notes here and there in the role of Belcore, but (even more interestingly) displaying exceptional breath control and a pleasantly buffoonish sergeant, whose interpretation developed elegantly, both vocally and expressively, over the course...

Simon Boccanegra - CD REVIEW, May 27, 2015

“In the portrait offered by baritone Marco Caria, the wicked Paolo Albiani is a demonic figure, made all the more dangerous by the charming way in which he resonates evil. In the opera's Prologue, Caria plays the Allegro moderato “L'atra magion vedete?.. de’ Fieschi è l'empio ostello” with an almost reptilian cunning, and...

“The real star of the evening was Marco Caria as Giorgio Germont, whose rough, steely timbre in “Di Provenza il mar” brought out the character's colder, sterner side, with well-sustained high notes that exploded freely. Particularly incisive was the image of the Baron who...

“Marco Caria had an authoritative presence as Ford, a role whose dramatic lines often make him the object of ridicule.
