Hieratic and austere, he captures attention with each of his entrances; there is certainly a natural charisma that helps, but the depth of this acting performance is very high and nothing is left to chance: Cavalletti gives the right \u2013 indeed, the exact \u2013 weight to every phrase, every accent, every word, even the most marginal expressions (in this performance he pronounces the most peremptory \u00abprestate per il Te Deum\u00bb that the writer has heard). Added to this is the very careful chiselling of the phrasing, a vocal instrument of which the baritone has an almost perfect control and also endowed not only with a beautiful timbre but also with an evident uniformity between the registers, even in the transition areas. In short, Cavalletti\u2019s Scarpia alone was worth the price of the ticket.<br \/>\n\u201cLa palma va senza ombra di dubbio a Massimo Cavalletti, eccellente in tutto e per tutto come barone Scarpia. Ieratico e austero, cattura l\u2019attenzione a ogni suo ingresso; senz\u2019altro c\u2019\u00e8 un carisma naturale che aiuta, ma lo spessore di questa prova attoriale \u00e8 altissimo e nulla \u00e8 lasciato al caso: Cavalletti conferisce il giusto \u2013 anzi, l\u2019esatto \u2013 peso a ogni frase, ogni accento, ogni parola, persino le espressioni pi\u00f9 marginali (in questa recita pronuncia il pi\u00f9 perentorio \u00abapprestate per il Te Deum\u00bb che chi scrive abbia udito). A questo si sommano l\u2019attentissima cesellatura del fraseggio, uno strumento vocale di cui il baritono ha un controllo pressoch\u00e9 perfetto e pure dotato non solo di un bel timbro ma anche di una evidente uniformit\u00e0 fra i registri, persino nelle zone di passaggio.

Renato\u2019s vengeance aria is quite challenging for a lyric baritone, but Cavalletti did beautifully, auguring well for his future forays into the more dramatic baritone repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joseph So, Ludwig van Toronto about the New Year\u2019s Eve Concert in Toronto, 12\/2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cMassimo Cavalletti is remarkably good in this character role \u2013 with his warm timbre and in great shape, he is a dream Schicchi: handy, boorish, yet sympathetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mischa Spel, NCR.nl about \u201cGianni Schicchi\u201d at the Dutch National Opera, 11\/2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201c\u2026Massimo Cavalletti masterfully performed the role of the jealous husband.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kazachstanskaja Pravda on \u201cFalstaff\u201d at the Astana Opera, 9\/2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cIn the male cast stood out \u2026 especially thrirty-nine year old baritone Massimo Cavalletti, who makes the Marquis of Posa a generous but also meditative character, and excells in the duets with Roberto Aronica (Don Carlo).\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Giuseppe Pennisi, Musica on \u201cDon Carlo\u201d at the Maggio Musicale Florence, 5\/2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cMassimo Cavalletti\u2019s Ford was Falstaff\u2019s worthy counterpart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>James Imam, Financial Times on \u201cFalstaff\u201d at La Scala, 2\/2017<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cLucky for those attending the current run of the opera, the stars are in alignment\u2013with Kristine Opolais (Mimi), Piotr Beczala (Rodolfo), Brigitta Kele (Musetta) and Massimo Cavalletti (Marcello) as the stellar central quartet and not a weak link down the line, under the sure and sweeping baton of Marco Armiliato.\u201d\u201cWhile Beczala and Cavalletti have performed the roles together elsewhere, they certainly couldn\u2019t have done it better, with the soaring tenor and the warm and smooth baritone meshing beautifully, particularly in their Act IV duet. Cavalletti and Opolais sang together at the Met when she made her surprise role debut as Mimi, replacing an ill colleague in an HD broadcast, and their interplay here seemed effortless, with him providing the strong shoulder she needs in Act III. With Marcello so central to the action (and actions of the other principals), it always surprises me that he has no aria of his own, but Cavalletti is the perfect foil in his arias with both Beczala and Musetta.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Richard Sasanow, Broadway World Opera on \u201cLa boh\u00e8me\u201d at the Metropolitan Opera, 11\/2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cMassimo Cavalletti sang Marcello with a big, firm voice and remarkable expressive capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Valeria Pregliasco, Opera on \u201cLa boh\u00e8me\u201d at the Teatro Regio Turin, 10\/2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe rest of the cast was also high profile, with the luxury of being able to rely on Massimo Cavalletti as Paolo Albiani, already a draft of his future Iago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrea Merli, Opera Actual on \u201cSimon Boccanegra\u201d at the Teatro alla Scala, 6\/2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cMassimo Cavalletti as Ford performed with his wonted professionalism, confirming himself as a credible singer and relaxed actor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Giancarlo Landini, L\u2019Opera on \u201cFalstaff\u201d at the Teatro alla Scala, 10\/2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cA superb performance likewise from Massimo Cavalletti as Marcello. \u00a0The baritone drew a precise portrait of the young painter with a heart of gold, employing an attractive and powerful, shapely voice; his acting likewise was spot-on. \u00a0He was justly rewarded by the audience at the end of the performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Roberta Pacifico, OperaClick on \u201cLa boh\u00e8me\u201d at the Teatro alla Scala, 08\/2015<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cIn the title role one found in Massimo Cavalletti (Ford in Falstaff and Marcello in La boh\u00e8me at the Dutch National Opera) a singer who has everything that Rossini\u2019s Figaro demands: an elegant baritone, exuberance, and just the right wiliness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mordechai Aranowicz, OperaMagazine.nl on \u201cIl barbiere di Siviglia\u201d at the Teatro alla Scala, 08\/2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pullquote-right none\"><div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<p>\u201cVocal excellence continued with Massimo Cavalletti\u2019s Belcore.
