Reviews for Tancredi in Rouen
“S’il faut une révélation à la soirée, elle a pour nom Santiago Ballerini, qui interprète Argirio : un métal que n’entache aucune nasalité – talon d’Achille du ténor rossinien ; une émission haute et souple ; une technique servie par une intelligence du chant qui lui permet de surmonter à sa manière les passages les plus périlleux ; une maîtrise…

[…] Tenor Santiago Ballerini as Count Almaviva showed off some impressive coloratura as he and the chorus tried to serenade Rosina from the street beneath…

La Rondine in Turin
“Face à Rojas, Santiago Ballerini, interprète le rôle de Prunier d’une voix sonore, plus brute, plus volontaire aussi alors qu’il démarre l’air de Doretta. Son arietta au premier acte (« Forse, come la rondine ») est luxueux. Il sait, à tout moment, jouer de l’ambiguïté de l’ami de Magda, de sa part de cynisme de…

Poliuto at Teatro Nuovo
“Tenor Santiago Ballerini sang the title role. 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…

Who could resist his proposal, when he dropped to a knee, took out a ring and threw the box over his shoulder? The couple’s Act I duet was magical.…
