Rolando Villazon conquista la Scala con una bellissima performance nei panni di Nemorino.
E’ un Rolando Villazon che sorprende quello che sale sul palco della Scala di Milano e si esibisce nell’Elisir d’amore; il tenore messicano, reduce da un’importante operazione, non sembra risentirne e la sua voce incanta i presenti in sala. Così alcuni dei maggiori quotidiani del paese sulla performance del tenore: “Rolando Villazon, Nemorino, incolpevole del giogo impostogli dalla regia, possiede uno splendido timbro tenorile, una linea di canto e di fiato ideale, «portamenti» bellissimi: la sua davvero artistica Furtiva Lagrima è un perfetto trionfo di pubblico.” - Paolo Isotta, Corriere della Sera “Villazon, il tenore popstar che travolge la Scala con un «Elisir d’amore» che si ispira a Fellini. - Pierachille Dolfini, Avvenire “Il Nemorino di VIllazon, mi sa che non lo scorderò mai più. Una voce piccolina, con tracce visibili di sforzo, ma capace di colori accenti chiaroscuri continui e continuamente mutevoli, a far blocco con le movenze, l’atteggiarsi, il sorriso, lo sguardo capaci di sprigionare la stessa poesia malinconica, struggente, di Charlie Chaplin. Questo è teatro.” - Elvio Giudici, Il Giorno
