I VESPRI NEWSPAPER
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 voci in the spirit of the character that should not just be 'noisy '(as is often heard in the past, and not only) but express an anxious loving passion: correct and responsive to the writing resulted, for example, the closed end of the romance "La fleur que tu m'avais jetée"

Interview about Opera Tosca 2015 (Hungary)

SCRISSI D'ARTE
The young Chilean tenor Giancarlo Monsalve, with high stage presence, clear phrasing and smooth timbre richly nuanced, has sung involved in passion. Singer with proven technical skills and interpretive revived the fibrillating emotions of Cavaradossi up to the killing of this, on top of the highest boulder and where, in despair, was cast into the void Tosca, while on the marble wall appeared the image of Castel Sant Angelo.

Interview and news about Opera Aida 2015 (Spain)

PRO OPERA MAGAZINE
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. March 2015 by José Noé Mercado www.proopera.org.mx

MITTEL LOGE
The young Giancarlo Monsalve made his House debut. His José was by far the best that I've ever heard live. He makes the development from the conservative sergeant to the madness of the lover corroded by the contempt tremendously clear. His Flower Song (with piano!) Was built incredibly thrilling and damn clever. For this purpose, he was a highly great performer. A great career in the dramatic spinto specialist should be nothing in the way!
