Andri Bjorn Robertsson as an imposing Sarastro.
“As the Devil, baritone Gustavo Castillo cast a calculating and seductive presence, and sang with dark conviction in his brief solo turns. The duel itself featured the vocal combatants in a display of surging intensity. As Castillo sang with smooth tone and authority, Machado delivered his tongue-twisting text with precision and zeal, his character’s performance seeming to leave the Devil in the dust.“
“Perfectly paired, Venezuelans tenor Aquiles Machado and baritone Gustavo Castillo complemented each other with light and dark sides respectively. These two fully captivating voices ignited iery feelings.”
