"Lambourne was impressively played by Dario Russo, who produced an authoritative performance, showing off his beautifully warm vocal timbre."
OperaWire
"Dario Russo confirms himself as a top Bellini interpreter: the enveloping softness of the timbre, the sumptuous legate, the search for a color that is both languid and yet aristocratic make him a count rightly hailed by unanimous acclaim"
Connessi All'Opera
"Dario Russo can boast a remarkable nobility of phrasing and a beautiful singing bass tone. The emission is always uniform both in the extreme low and high notes which do not lose their softness"
OperaClick
"Dario Russo lends his deep and worrying voice to Sparafucile. Well in his playing, well in his bass voice, he imposes his character by bringing out the darkness of his low notes and the intensity contained in his voice"
