DON ALVARO

MONSALVE BRAVES THE CURSE
Chilean tenor Giancarlo Monsalve braves the “curse” to play Don Alvaro. Monsalve thrives, particularly on his soul-tortured aria “La vita è inferno … O tu che in seno agli angeli”

OTELLO

AN OTELLO THAT MAKES HISTORY
Monsalve collects the expressive force of some reference Otello's to draw his own: the animality and torment of a Ramon Vinay, the strength and sonorous brilliance of a Mario Del Monaco (with that steady emission and blade cutting sonorous top) and the scenic ductility of a Plácido Domingo.

DON JOSÉ

PRECIOUS MEZZE VOCI
The Don José of the young Chilean tenor Giancarlo Monsalve, whose voice of strength left to underlie an acquired technique skill of the Italian traditional school (Del Monaco. Cecchele, Corelli) But capable of precious mezze voici in the spirit of the character correct and responsive to the writing resulted, for example, the closed end of the romance "La fleur que tu m'avais jetée"

CANIO

BIG VOICE, FINE ACTOR
It is not very common for a tenor to sing the main parts (Turiddu and Canio) in both operas on the same night. Yet this is exactly what tenor Giancarlo Monsalve did. Monsalve has a fine big voice, a very handsome presence and is a fine actor. His leave-taking scene from his mother, Mama Lucia, before the final denouement was extremely touching - his fear, his reluctance to leave, taking over from his bravado.

ANDREA CHÉNIER

THE ADMIRABLE TECHNIQUE OF MONSALVE
a technique from the old school that allows him to prop his vocal emission firmly to build a vibrant sound, ample, safe and that runs with brightness, despite its natural baritone dark accents. This is a true spinto Tenor, from a good school, with timbral flashes of ilk singers as Mario Del Monaco and with full awareness of his instrument and what he can achieve with it, giving him a personal identity that seeks no imitation.

"Carmen" Seoul Arts Center (Seoul South Korea)
Giancarlo Monsalve who played the role of Don Jose, made good use of his voice and acting as a pure young man attracted to love and crush. He was very good at showing his trembling emotions with the finest techniques that let him sang from fortissimo to pianissimo. Acts 1 and 2 he showed de indecisive conflicts, so there was a good contrast with the developing to the acts 3 and 4 provoking tension.

"La Forza del Destino" Teatro Municipal de Santiago (Chile)
The debut in this theater of the Chilean tenor Giancarlo Monsalve is auspicious. And he does it in a big way, with a role adjusted to his spinto lyric timbre that dashing with power towards the dramatic, without neglecting the most lyrical aspects of Don Alvaro.

"Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci" Teatru Aurora (Malta)
Tenor Giancarlo Monsalve had a very tough double job – singing Turiddu and Canio and he portrayed the two tragic characters very well. He was the rather irresponsible local seducer who overplayed his hand in one role and in the other was the jealous, betrayed husband with good reason to feel aggrieved, but, too much out of control, leading to a double murder a furia di sangue.

"Carmen" Hong Kong Opera (Hong Kong)
Chilean tenor Giancarlo Monsalve delivers a full-throated and testosterone-laden Don José in the tradition of singers like Mario del Monaco. Monsalve’s finale has unexpected visual and emotional parallels to A Streetcar Named Desire. While undoubtedly coincidental, it is a reminder that there is much about Carmen that can be construed as social commentary, undercurrents which keep the work relevant.
