The evening's pater familias, Oroveso (Norma's father), was admirably sung by bass Luiz-Ottavio
Faria. His is a resonant and commanding bass. Faria showed a resolute and vigorous bearing as the
Druid priest. His Ah! del Tebro al giogo indegno was fittingly filled with rage.

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.

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.                                           By Robert W. Butts (Classical New Jersey Society Journal)

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

Basso Luiz-Ottavio Faria was a fully satisfying Zaccaria, with an easy top and sonorous low F.

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.                 
                                                                           By  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.
