Henry Kissinger
“Patrick Carfizzi brought a sonorous bass-baritone to the role of Kissinger and lascivious relish to his alter ego.”

Don Magnifico
“With impeccable comic timing and richly nuanced bass-baritone voice, Patrick Carfizzi set the gold standard as the malevolent buffoon of a father Don Magnifico.”

Paolo Albiani
“Bass-baritone Patrick Carfizzi also shone as Paolo Albiani, who elevates Boccanegra to the throne before turning against him.”
Joshua Kosman, The San Francisco Chronicle, 2009

Bartolo
“Arguably the show’s very finest singing came from the accomplished Bartolo, Patrick Carfizzi…Mr. Carfizzi’s impressive bass is as powerful as it is handsome. Make no mistake, he certainly knows how to use a full arsenal of buffo vocal tricks and colors to nail his laughs and etch his scheming Don, but then he can suddenly take our breath away with a finely sung declamation that is remarkably elegant.”

Papageno
“A notable bright spot…was the Papageno of Patrick Carfizzi. A master of movement and gesture whose grace seemed worthy of a trained dancer or mime, Carfizzi gave a brilliant rendition of the lovable bird-catcher. Whether in his arias, such as “Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja,” or in ensembles such as “Bei Männern,” Carfizzi’s bass-baritone filled the hall with beautifully phrased German, elegant lyricism and compelling musicality.”
