IL VIAGGIO A REIMS
Gioachino Rossini, Opera Australia
"Sharma has a voice that exemplifies the principles of bel canto – an ease throughout his much extended range, musical clarity in all fioritura and a melting command of morbidezza...."
"t is difficult to single out particular performances in such a strong cast. However, a particular highlight, is the tender duet between the Conte di Libenskof (Shanul Sharma) and the Marchesa Malibea (Sian Sharp)."
"some stood out: Sharma, an Indian brought up on Bollywood's music and a rock band, handled Libenskof's high mix of coloratura and bel canto with great delicacy"
"Of the large cast, Ruth Iniesta, Emma Pearson and Shanul Sharma provide dazzling vocal fireworks."
"Charming act three duet “D’alma celeste, oh Dio!” is beautifully sung and performed by Sian Sharp and Shanul Sharma.... Sharma sings with perfect Rossini crispness, and makes a suitably sultry leading man."
"The high tessitura and lovely Italian diction of Indian-Australian tenor Shanul Sharma (Count Libenskof) impressed"
