The Italian Review, 2006
"...The role of Sergeant Belcore was robustly sung by Claudio
Mascarenhas whose portrayal made the most of this one dimensional
character.You found yourself instantly liking the boastful braggart
because Mascarenhas also made him have a charming insouciance that was
endearing. Mascarenhas Act 2 duet with Nemorino “Venti Scudi” was
adroitly done with panache and zest. Macarenhas' bass baritone has a
pleasing quality that can be quite impressive combined with dynamic
stage presence."
