The New York Times Praises Poliuto

Following the performances of Poliuto with Teatro Nuovo in New York, The New York Times highlighted Santiago Ballerini’s performance in a highly favorable review.

“As Poliuto, Santiago Ballerini embodied the virtues of Teatro Nuovo’s house style with a pretty, graciously produced tenor capable of reaching dramatic heights.”
— Oussama Zahr, The New York Times

The production was received as a resounding success, marking another important milestone in Ballerini’s ongoing exploration of Donizetti and the Bel Canto repertoire. The collaboration with Teatro Nuovo continues to reflect a shared commitment to stylistic integrity and musical excellence.

With further Donizetti projects on the horizon, the future promises even more exciting developments in the seasons to come.
