Madama Butterfly Savonlinna Opera
Festival 2010
5th, 14th, 23rd July
The tenor
Giuseppe Varano has a squillo whose beauty is almost breathtaking;
the texture of the voice reminded me a bit the young Carlo Bergonzi.
He also has a full safety and fullness of the high tones, which
allows him to keep the dreaded B-flat of "America forever" almost
endless.

..."The Italian tenor Giuseppe Varano sang the role of Pinkerton
with a shining voice"...
Sven-Olof Ray,
Österbottens Tidning, 7.7.2010
..."Giuseppe
Varano has an Italian, sparkling and strong substance and power,
which carries even through the thickest thunder of the orchestra.
Varano also feels and lives through every single change of incidents
and lines, which electrifies the opera"...
..."Madama Butterfly returned to the Olavinlinna Castle more
sparkling than last year. The two main soloists, Butterfly - Inna
Los - and her lover Pinkerton, Giuseppe Varano, left nothing to wish
for."...
Riitta-Leena Lempinen-Vesa,

..."The
Opera Festival Orchestra took all nuances out of Puccini's music.
Thanks for the emotional evening go without doubt to Massimo Zanetti,
who led the dialogue between the orchestra and the soloists
skillfully"...
