The New York Times

“…a solist on absolutely high level…one of the most stunning surprises of the entire season!”

secure in the upper register, capable of modulations and evocative mezzevoci,
De Biasio shows real promise of a complete tenor panorama.”
l’Opera

“…Roberto De Biasio, the true surprise of this Lucia di Lammermoor, displays phrasing of style and fluent singing, in addition to offering an expressive vocal line shaped with refinement. He is a singer of intelligent musicality, welcomed by the audience at the opening performance with a fervour which we fully share.”
Corriere dell’Arte
“…a tenor of powerful but smooth voice and exemplary diction, capable of heartfelt freshness not only in the slower lyric passages ‘Tra poco a me ricovero’ but also in the sincerity of the most dramatic passages such as ‘Son tue cifre? A me rispondi!’ sung with a thread of voice, or the moving
‘Di chi mai, di chi piangete?”
Corriere della sera
“...Roberto De Biasio, impeccable maestro of recitativi.”
Famiglia cristiana

“...attractive for his ease and for his endowments as a tenor, more and more of a rarity these days”!”

His pitch is perfect for mastering a tricky passage, his phrasing precise and well-disposed, his stress incisive...the best in his field.
He continues to be an exuberant tenor !”
l’Opera
