Gounod: Air de Roméo (Romeo and Juliette)
Reviews & Press
Gounod - Roméo et Juliette - Roméo
Ian Matthew Castro in der Rolle des Roméo sang die Phrasen seiner grossen Arie «Ah! lève toi soleil!» mit einer wunderschön lyrischen Geschmeidigkeit, wobei ihm die Spitzentöne in der «Voix mixte» höhensicher gelangen, sodass er sich auf dem letzten hohen B sogar erlaubte, den Ton piano anzusetzen, um ihn dann anschwellen zu lassen. Grosse Klasse. (Ian Matthew Castro in the role of Roméo, somewhat reminiscent of Anastasios Vrenios in the coloring of his voice, sang the phrases of his great aria “Ah! lève toi soleil!” with a beautifully lyrical suppleness, whereby he reached the top notes in the “Voix mixte” with confidence, so that on the last high B he even allowed himself to start the note piano and then let it swell. Great class.)

Mozart - Die Zauberflöte - Tamino
Ian Matthew Castro, neu im Ensemble der Oper Bühnen Bern, präsentiert als Tamino ein hellen, kräftigen Tenor mit reichlich Schmelz, leichtem Metall und dem gewissen Etwas in der Stimme.
(Ian Matthew Castro, new to the Bern Theater ensemble, presents as Tamino a bright, powerful tenor with plenty of mellowness, light metal and that certain something in his voice.)
