Merece una mención aparte el fabuloso Don Narciso de Santiago Ballerini, uno de los artistas nativos de mayor proyección internacional: conocedor minucioso del estilo rossiniano, el tenor pone su voz, que combina calidez, tersura y timbre brillante, al completo servicio del drama.

His light yet sonorous voice lent itself well to Bel Canto singing, and he is one of the era’s top interpreters. He had excellent agility as he moved through the fioritura and had no issues sending his voice over the orchestra. Most impressive was his use of dynamics and head voice. He went from full-throated fortes to the gentlest pianissimos with utmost surety.
