Mr. Faria was captivating as the elder Timur with a rich, warm bass of considerable
size. He made a compelling father figure.             R. Spenser Butler (Palm Beach Daily News)

Luiz-Ottavio Faria proved no less impressive as Zaccaria. There was remarkable
warmth and depth to his bass, as well as consistent stylistic sensitivity in his melodic
sculpting.                                                                                   Tim Smith (Opera News)

Mr. Faria was a solid Sarastro. His lowest notes were as rich and secure as his higher
tones, bringing a complete musical presence to his performance and making both of
Sarastro hymn-like arias memorable.  Robert W. Butts (Classical New Jersey Society Journal)

Luiz-Ottavio Faria se lucio con una voz de bajo cantante de primera categoria como
Alvise.                                                             Eduardo Brandenburger (Opera Actual, Spain)

Basso Luiz-Ottavio Faria was a fully satisfying Zaccaria, with an easy top and
sonorous low F.                                                                       Luther Wade (Opera News)

Ottimo il basso Luiz-Ottavio Faria nei panni di Timur; la sua calda voce si e' ben
accompagnata all' interpretazione scenica che il cantante ha dato del sofferente e
tormentato padre di Calaf.                                     Sabino Lenoci (L' Opera magazine, Italia)

Luiz-Ottavio Faria's generous bass was perfectly suited to the role of the Capitan, a
human anchor of the chip on which all the other characters are adrift in one way or
another.                      John F. Hulcoop "Florencia en el Amazonas" - Seattle Opera (Opera News)
