AIDA - Opera Hong Kong, OCTOBER 2025
author“Marco Caria's ringing baritone and impassioned acting made him an exceptional Amonasro.” Natasha Rogai The review refers to one of the performances in the period from October 9 to 12, 2025 at Opera Hong Kong Director: Ramón Tebar / Director and lighting: Hugo de Ana
TOSCA - SASSARI, NOVEMBER 2024
author“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...”....
THE BARBER OF SEVILLE - WIENER STAATSOPER, SEPTEMBER 2022
author“Baritone Marco Caria as Figaro is a bold barber of Seville.” https://suemtravels.com/2022/10/01/the-barber-of-seville-vienna-state-opera/ The review refers to one of the performances in the period September 22-30, 2022 at the Vienna State Opera Director: Michele Mariotti, Giacomo Sagripanti / Director: Herbert Fritsch
Simon Boccanegra - Teatro Massimo di Palermo, FEBRUARY 2022
author“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...
Aida - Macerata Opera Festival, July-August 2021
author“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
author“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...
Aida - opera house in rome / terme di caracalla, july 2019
author“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
author“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
author“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,...
Il trovatore - Chieti, Marrucino Theater, 2018
author“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...
The Corsair - Modena, Teatro Comunale Luciano Pavarotti, 2018
author“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...
THE BARBER OF SEVILLE - WIENER STAATSOPER, SEPTEMBER 2017
author“Marco Caria's well-turned baritone voice made an excellent impression from the start. His Largo al factotum was brilliantly sung and each of his subsequent appearances lit up the scene.” Original: “The well rounded baritone voice of Marco Caria made a good impression from the start....
L'Elisir d'amore - Wiener Staatsoper, June 2017
author“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...
Il Trovatore - Macerata Opera Festival, August 2016
author“Marco Caria, as Il Conte di Luna, shows off a manly, stable and warm baritone voice, and performs his aria Il balen in Act II with a good legato; the cabaletta also turns out well.” Original: “Marco Caria as Il Conte di Luna has a manly baritone voice,...
Lucia di Lammermoor - Rome Opera House, December 2015
author“In the role of Enrico Marco Caria (first cast) uses well a good baritone voice, wide and full-bodied, leans well, sustains the sounds and holds the high notes (“Cruda, funesta smania”).” Giosetta Guerra for TeatriOnline.it Director: Riccardo Muti / Director: Damiano Michieletto
Roberto Devereux DVD - Teatro Real, Madrid, OCTOBER 2015
author“The already high vocal standard was further raised by the intensely tormented character played with mastery by principal baritone Marco Caria.” Original: “The high vocal standard was carried even further by ... principal baritone Marco Caria's heartrendingly anguished performances.”.Janos Gardonyi, TheWholeNote.com “Italian baritone Marco Caria sings in a manner...
Lucia di Lammermoor - Deutsche Oper Berlin, October 2015
author“Marco Caria, in the role of Enrico, with his full-bodied and resonant baritone, offered a pleasant counterpoint to Ms. Yende and Mr. Kang. He never forced the emission, but shaped the phrases with genuine emotional involvement.” Original: “Marco Caria as Enrico, with his grainy and booming baritone,...
Simon Boccanegra - CD REVIEW, May 27, 2015
author“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...
Lucia di Lammermoor - Nationale Opera Nederlands, Amsterdam, March 2015
author“Baritone Marco Caria (Enrico), who serves as a third wheel as Lucia's cruel brother and Edgardo's implacable antagonist , is credited with effectively reconciling the character's viciousness with the elegance befitting the romantic baritone (what, with good grace of the Verdians, was Donizetti to...
Lucia di Lammermoor - Rome Opera House, March 2015
author“Marco Caria's Enrico adapts the part to his vocal possibilities, turning out among other things in line with a direction that sees him as a cold calculator of other people's lives.” Federica Fanizza for Sipario.it Director: Roberto Abbado / Director: Ugo Tessitore
Un Ballo in Maschera - Teatro Comunale di Bologna, January 2015
author“Baritone Marco Caria has an important and malleable vocal mezzo and was able to move in Renato's desperate aria in Act III.” Valentina Anzani, the Musical Bee Director: Michele Mariotti / Director: Damiano Michieletto
La traviata - La Fenice Theater in Venice, December 2014
author“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...
Madama Butterfly - San Carlo Theater in Naples, July 2014
author“Marco Caria has a noble baritone timbre and delivered a polished and incisive interpretation of Sharpless.” Original: “Marco Caria has a noble baritone timbre and delivered a polished and incisive interpretation of Sharpless.” Lorenzo Fiorito
Falstaff - Los Angeles Opera, November 2013
author“Baritone Marco Caria portrayed a somber and easily beamed Ford. His aria became a moment of great dramatic tension, sung with a remarkable Verdian baritone sonority.” Original: “Baritone Marco Caria was a dour and dupable Ford. His aria was a dramatic occasion and sung ...
La Traviata - Cincinnati Opera, July 2012
author“Sardinian baritone Marco Caria was a solid, sonorous Giorgio Germont.” Original: “Sardinian baritone Marco Caria was a solid, sonorous Giorgio Germont.” William Burnett, Operawarhorses The review refers to the performance on July 26, 2012
Lucia di Lammermoor - Wiener Staatsoper, June 2012
author“Baritone Marco Caria is also very convincing in the role of Enrico. He is a baritone of real caliber: persuasive in his rhetoric and authoritative in appealing to Lucia as the dominant brother.Lucia accuses Enrico: only God can forgive his actions. And, in refusing marriage to Arturo, she protests that she has sworn allegiance to...
Falstaff - Wiener Staatsoper, SeptemBRE, 2011
author“Marco Caria had an authoritative presence as Ford, a role whose dramatic lines often make him the object of ridicule. Caria played this fiery temperament effectively, with a wide and sonorous vibrato, deliberately coming off as over the top compared to the rest of the work.” Original: “Marco Caria...
La Boheme - Atlanta Symphony Hall, April 2011
author“Baritone Marco Caria, in the role of Marcello, was in wonderful vocal form: his voice, soft yet piercing, stood out for its quality and presence.” Original: “Soprano Amanda Squitieri and especially baritone Marco Caria, as the squabbling lovers Musetta and Marcello, were in wonderful voice; hers was...
