review
“El faut enfin saluier la performance du tènor Mar Oliveira dans le fôle-titre. Son timbre clair et lumineux, son sen des nuances, la variètè des couleurs dont il pare sa voix rendent pleine justice à ce rôle complexe, exigeant autant vocalement et musicalement que dramatiquement. Sa performance d’acteur confère au personage une humanité, empreinte d’innocence et de sensibilité, qui suscite une authentique émotion. Le cri d’animal bessé que accompagne sa mort donne la chair de poule ¡ Il doit également être félicité pour la performance physique que représente la fait de chanter à genoux une grande partie de son role.”

"Mar Oliveira embodied the most touching Dwarf one could imagine. The flexibility of his phrasing, the astonishing power he possesses to nuance with perfect musicality, his acting skills (the character demanded that he sing on his knees!) fully deserved the enthusiastic applause of the audience. He was convincing, moving, and poignant."

“Assinalo a qualidade excepcional de um tenor como Mar Oliveira (a ária de Lensky, do Eugene Oneguin, de Tchaikovsky, por ele interpretada, demonstrou musicalidade, beleza de timbre, domínio de todas as dificuldades; seu duque de Mântua foi ainda melhor).”
