  • Une chanteuse à suivre, à l’instar de son compatriote Luis Gomes, qui s’était fait particulièrement remarquer (en décrochant plusieurs prix) lors de l’édition 2019 d’Operalia, le plus fameux des concours de chant. Son timbre attachant, son émission haut placée et sa maîtrise des règles d’interprétation de ce répertoire le destinent tout naturellement au rôle d’Edgardo. Et contrairement à pas mal de ses confrères, il ne trahit aucun effort dans les périlleuses montées vers l’aigu de son air final, « Tombe degli avi miei », qui lui vaut des vivats nourris.
    Emmanuel Andrieu
  • Luís Gomes gave us a similarly superbly sung Edgardo. His tenor abounds in sunny, Italianate tone, with an impeccable legato and a ringing top. He was also an energizing stage presence, his ‘son tue cifre’ in the wedding scene was filled with palpable anger and raised the emotional temperature of the scene exponentially. He sang his big final scene with tireless passion, the ever-soaring line dispatched with warmth and generosity, filling the text with meaning. A notable assumption from this naturally gifted singer. … Gomes was a glorious Edgardo.

  • Galvanizzata da due protagonisti così bravi, l’intera compagnia offre ottime prestazioni, a partire dall’autorevole e vocalmente solido Lescaut di Claudio Sgura e dallo splendido Geronte di Ravoir di Alessandro Spina, che questo spettacolo vuole impegnato anche come Sergente degli arceri e Comandante di marina. Completano la locandina il fresco Edmondo di Luis Gomes, il raffinato musico di Loriana Castellano, Luca Vianello (Un Oste) e Rémy Mathieu (Il maestro di ballo e Un lampionaio).

  • Face à elle, Yusif Eyvazov s’empare avec vaillance d’un rôle dont son chant sert tous les aspects, de la désinvolture initiale (« Tra voi, belle »), au paroxysme du désespoir (« No ! Pazzo son ! »), en passant par un exemplaire lyrisme dans la déclaration (« Donna non vidi mai »), et l’éclat indigné (« O tentatrice ! »). Il se pose indubitablement en l'un des incontournables Des Grieux de notre époque ! Un Geronte incisif à la voix noire (la basse italienne Alessandro Spina), un Lescaut sonore et stylé (Claudio Sgura), et un Edmondo (le ténor portugais Luis Gomes) dont le madrigal initial recueille ce qui demeure du XVIIème siècle dans l’ouvrage, concourent à la réussite incontestable de l’ensemble – au même titre que les personnages plus épisodiques (Rémy Mathieu en Maître de Musique et Loriana Castellano en Maître de Ballet), ainsi que le chœur maison, excellent comme à son habitude, tout particulièrement dans le finale du III.
    Emmanuel Andrieu
  • Premier à intervenir, Luis Gomes dans le rôle de l’étudiant Edmondo brille par la maîtrise de son souffle, toujours précis et agile malgré les postures incongrues et extrêmement fluctuantes qu’il arbore.

  • Luis Gomes apparaît avec aisance en étudiant parisien.
    Andre Peyregne
  • Anush Hovhannisyan is a beautifully sung Mimi who is immediately seen as no innocent, here she blows out her candle (twice) to create the situation for her fumble in the darkness with Rodolfo, and is not backward in coming forward. Similarly, Luis Gomes’ ardent lyrical Rodolfo has also grasped the opportunity presented by the apparently lost key, to make love to the young beauty. They both act as well as sing the roles with the chemistry of mutual attraction and raging hormones that even the bitter cold weather cannot chill.
    Mike Smith
  • Mimì (here played with remarkable vocal precision and softness of delivery by Anush Hovannisyan) is one of the iconic female figures in the history of opera, her stage appearances incisive from her first, flirtatious interaction with the poet Rodolfo (Luis Gomes, who does an excellent job at handling the complexities and contradictions of his character without losing the focus on his delivery of a part which includes a number of recognisable sections) to her tragic death, which provides an abrupt tonal shift to the last act of the production.
    Chiara Strazzulla
  • “Given that the various parts are played by a combination of different singers, the dynamic in the show may vary; for this performance, a strong Luis Gomes took the part of Rodolpho, with Mimi played with a sense of fragile yearning by Anush Hovhannisyan.”
    Eleanor Marsden
  • “Luis Gomes sang from the side, a magnificent replacement on account of his richly Italianate tone, convincingly capturing the full range of the character’s music, not least his soaring passion, without strain.”
