    • Otello: Teatro San Carlo, Naples
      (May 2006)

      Eccellente è stata l’interpreatzione di Carlo Guelfi, nel personaggio di Iago.
      Avanti!
      É singolare come Guelfi lasci da parte una tradizione di ricerca espressiva ossessivamente fissata sulle mille sfumature del dotto libretto, puntando a piú immediata resa del presonaggio.

      Interessante Jago di Carlo Guelfi...

      Lucido Jago di Carlo Guelfi… Molto netta la definizione del personaggio di Jago da parte di Guelfi...

    • Tosca: La Scala
      (April 2006)

      Guelfi facendo molta attenzione al significato di ogni parola riesce a trasmettermi, cosa a mio avviso molto importante, come Scarpia, evolva muti e trascenda totalmente nel corso della vicenda, accecato dalla passione, diventando l’essere viscido che verrà ucciso da Tosca.

    • Andrea Chenier: Teatro Comunale, Bologna
      (January 2006)

      Molto buona la prova di Carlo Guelfi nei panni del capopopolo Gérard. Il baritono romano ha saputo tener viva l’attenzione sul palcoscenico… grazie ad una convincente presenza scenica.

    • Rigoletto: The Met
      (December 2005)

      Guelfi is somewhat in another league… he was very effective and offered a jester of real feeling...His exchanges with Gilda were superb...
