“Excellent performance by baritone Marco Caria who brought to the stage a murky Scarpia drawn to perfection by a powerful voice with a beautiful dark timbre and a magnetic stage presence“.
«The New Sardinia»
“The interpreter who best understood the need for this need to insert the voices more organically “inside” the score was certainly Marco Caria, a refined Scarpia, without certain veristic gigantries, more led by his vocal characteristics to build an insinuating, nuanced, coldly calculating character, far from the crude, vociferous policeman of certain interpretations. It is no coincidence that more than the proterity of his entrance, it was truly admirable to have a second act that was perfectly ingrained in the musical and dramaturgical mechanisms, built with confident, homogeneous vocality and variety of expressive accents“.
Gabriele Verdinelli, «GBopera»
“Baritone Marco Caria played a torrid Scarpia, supported by a powerful voice and from a magnetic stage presence“.
Marco Cau, «Schmag magazine»
“Sardinian baritone Marco Caria has the physique du rôle To masterfully embody Scarpia's truncated hubris.“.
Maggie S. Lorelli, «The Music Review.»
“Darkening the drama is the character of Baron Scarpia, who undermines Tosca by taking advantage of his role as a cop: Oristan baritone Marco Caria succeeds in making him “murky carrion” not only in vocal performance but also in acting“.
«The Sardinian Union»
“Marco Caria (this time without the beard we had grown accustomed to seeing him with) in the role of Baron Scarpia was also very good. At home at the Comunale di Sassari after his happy debut two years ago as Germont padre in Traviata (and we immediately noticed his qualities) and then returned in 2023 in Pagliacci in Piazza d'Italia and in Nabucco and in this 2024 already Jago in Otello, the baritone from Oristano is a fine reality of the island's opera. Of Scarpia he offered an intense interpretation even on the acting level“.
Luca Foddai, «Sardìes.it»
“Confirmation the excellent singing skills Sardinian baritone Marco Caria, at home in De Carolis productions. His interpretation of the malefic Scarpia was decisive...“
Luigi Coppola, «City&City.»
“Also positive was the performance of baritone Marco Caria, who embodied Scarpia with magnetic stage presence and voice suited to the role“.
