REVIEWS

Rigoletto by G. Verdi at Opéra National de Paris – May 2025

“Une mention, en revanche, pour le Monterone de Daniel Giulianini, impressionnant dans ses deux apparitions.”
Camillo Faverzani, premiereloge-opera.com

“[…] tandis que Daniel Giulianini fait montre de tout le charisme attendu d’un comte de Monterone qui fait froid dans le dos lorsqu’il maudit le héros.”
Tancrède Lahary, forumopera.com

Elisir d’amore by G. Donizetti at Teatro Mario Del Monaco di Treviso – March 2025

“Dulcamara è Daniel Giulianini: voce ben poggiata, volumi potenti, ricca tavolozza, acuti solidi e grandi fiati, tratteggia un imbroglione pasticcione e compiaciuto. La vastità della parte e le richieste della regia non lo mettono in difficoltà e dimostra una tenuta vocale inossidabile, che spinge a sperare di riascoltarlo presto.”
– Gianluca Macovez, musiculturaonline.it

“Daniel Giulianini è il dottor Dulcamara. Voce potente, acuti sicuri, fiati amplissimi, disegna un cinico figuro, spietato ma tanto divertente. Nonostante la vastità della parte ed i ritmi serrati, la tenuta vocale è encomiabile, anche quando canta in sala, con l’orchestra alle spalle.”
Gianluca Macovez, laplatea.it

Un ballo in maschera by G. Verdi at Teatro Regio di Torino w. Riccardo Muti – February 2024

“Ottimi, nei ruoli di contorno, […] Daniel Giulianini (Samuel)…”
