“Without doubt, Carlos Serrano was the star of the show, playing each role to the hilt and winning enthusiastic applause for the searing intensity of his portrayals. Serrano is nothing if not theatrical; had he not sung a single syllable, one could still have thoroughly enjoyed his performances, but through the addition of the well-projected voice, intelligent interpretations and the wide variety of colours (notable especially in the Pagliacci Prologue), he presented a commanding presence throughout the entire evening; his Gianni Schicchi made us shake with laughter; his Tonio left us cringing in fear.”
