Forza del destino

G. Verdi

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

[….] To his friend (later his mortal enemy) Alvaro, Eleonora’s lover, Antonello Palombi lent his not less wider tenor, which weight and impetuous strenght were equalled by a technically fine piano carried out with plasticity.His vision of life in “La vita è inferno” is of impressive deep pain.

Frankfurter Rundschau

That „La Forza del Destino” at the end should have been called “The strenght of men”, was put in evidence since the beginning of this applauded evening by Antonello Palombi as the lover Don Alvaro and Zeljko Lucic as the revengeful Don Carlos. Two vocal power stations in action: one with a fine tenor bel canto, the other with a penetrating strenght of baritone. A source of vocal energy in tandem that left all the rest in shade.

Lucic has been a member of the Ensamble for 7 years, Palombi is engaged also next year at the local Opera House: the vocal power of Frankfurt.

Frankfurter Neue Presse

With his superbly forged baritone, Zeljko Lucic as Don Carlos, found in Antonello Palombi (Don Alvaro) and in his firm and emphatically blossoming tenor, a vocally equal opponent so that their duetto has been a breath-taking duel of vocal art.
