My remorse!” and with vigor when necessary as in “Questa donna conoscete/Do you know this woman?” Saccà is also a good actor and, in spite of some of the awkward stage directions, he easily followed the story line: at times infatuated and immature, at times in love, at times hurt and vengeful, and in general portraying Alfredo as the young man he is, in reality.

Opera today, November 2005

Roberto Saccà archieves to establish a sovereign and gushing character. Not a ‚Latin-Lover', but a mature and a little reckless man, who doesn't shrink back from adding powerful nuances to his belcanto.

Arte Nova: "Roberto Saccà - Portrait" CD:

The Italian, born in Germany, Roberto Saccà presents himself on this CD of the lyrical dramatic Belcanto-repertory, as a tenore lirico and shows vocal and emotional highlights from Donzetti's La Fille to L'Aresiana from Cilea. The booklet describes him as the ideal of an attractive youthfully and stormy lover. I can only confirm this from his vocal qualities and it seems that Saccà together with the Slowakian RSO Bratislava under the conductor I. Anguélov inspire and animate each other to a contagious enthusiasm. Roberto Saccà demonstrates a beautiful certainty of pitch, expressive directness and expert musicianship allowes him to give a new sparkle to some of the most familiar cantilenas in this repertory ; the basis for great tasks. A tenor like him is very rare and demanded..

Applause, February 2003

In the last two years the German of Italian origin expanded his mainly Mozart and Rossini repertory carefully to Verdi. In this recital of Arte Nova, Saccà goes even another step further to verismo. The youthfully vigorous voice with timbre preserving height swings himself successfully with impetus in Puccini's (Rinuccio and Rudolfo) and Cilea's (Federico) melos. It is astonishing, how flexible Saccà's tenor-voice addresses the high testitura in the two Verdi parts Alfredo and Duca (here all solo parts include the cabalettas). Also in Rossini's Almaviva, in Donizetti's Nemorino, Tonio and Edgardo primarily the natural bravura convinces.

Der Neue Merker, January 2003

"The magic flute" Vienna State-Opera:

Roberto Saccà as Tamino had a strong, supple, dramatic tenor. The pretty, black-lured prince radiated even such a thing like Mozart beauty, revalued with a shot humor the daring lover and fitted well with stable tenor his voice-leading role.

Der Neue Merker, September 2002

"Don Giovanni" DVD from Opera Zurich:

Roberto Saccà offers a synthesis from controlled tone production, unequalled in its perfection, to stylistic Mozart singing. No larmoyancy disturbs this Don Ottavio, the voice becomes never tight and demonstrates expressive palette, awareness of phrasing and formal structure. Saccà gives the best example for wise long-term development that forms the basis for great tasks.

Opernglas, June 2002

"Daphne" Royal Opera House Covent Garden:

The more lyrical Roberto Saccà contrasted ideally as the innocent Leukippos.

Sunday Times, May 2002

Roberto Saccà as Leukippos was also very impressive. He has a sweeter, lighter voice than Botha, but was still able to defeat the traditionally thick Strauss orchestration. His high C was well attacked and tightly focused.

The Home for Opera at UGA, May 2002

Leukippos Daphne’s devoted swain, got competent Strauss treatment from Roberto Saccà.

Opera, May 2002

"Il Barbiere di Sevilla" new production, Paris/Opera de la Bastille:

Radio Nôtre Dame, April 2002

"The magic flute" new production, Teatro de la Maestranza Sevilla:

Roberto Saccà, an international star, possesses a beautiful and strong voice, is secure in stile. His performance was admirablly, particularly its security and its expressive bravery, a remarkable Tamino.

Filomusica, February 2002

Roberto Saccà proofed himself as an outstanding Mozart-singer with slashing moments. His viril and dark timbred voice made forget the typical kitch-interpretations of many other lyric tenors in this role.

Andalucia 24 horas, january 2002

Triumphe for Salla and Saccà
The absolute winners of the evening were Sala and Saccà as the leading couple. The italian tenor Roberto Saccà was a convincing Tamino, perfect in singing and stylistics, exactly what Mozart demands from this character.

ABC, january 2002

"Die schweigsame Frau" new production, Opera Zurich:

Besides von Dóhnanyi Roberto Saccà's Henry was the biggest trump of the evening. With his dazzling and radiant tenor he was a perfect Henry in singing and acting. The amazing lyric qualities of his voice were demonstrated in extraordinary beautifully sung Strauss-cantilenas.

Opernglas, february 2002

The way the nephew leads his exhausted uncle into the bedroom - Roberto Sacca sings the part with a supple, brilliant tenor voice - is very touching.

Neue Züricher Zeitung, december 2001

As Henry, Roberto Saccà managed to hold his own with his radiant voice and elegant appearance.

Der neue Merker, january 2002

Roberto Saccà, as Henry, lets his tenor voice resound in the highest registers with apparent ease, a real Strauss bel canto.

Blick Zürich, december 2001

"Orfeo" new production, Royal Opera House Covent Garden:

Orpheus has a savage-breast-calming aria with harp - as in Gluck - which the tenor Roberto Saccà sang most gracefully, and he was eloquent in his major-minor aria of grief.

The Times, october 2001

As the hapless Orfeo Roberto Saccà displayed a well focused sweet-toned and securely musical tenor.

Daily Telegraph, october 2001

"Rigoletto" new production, Opera Cologne:

Roberto Saccà sang the Duke with high grace. His verve with the high notes was always closely integrated into the natural course of the melody. His entry into "Parmi veder le lagrime" was gentle, perfect the mix of precision and lyrical flow. Here a noble seducer was singing. He might even have been able to pass for a man of honour. Lusting smilingly he denies himself any introversion.

Opernwelt, august 2001

In contrast, it was unadulterated Verdi culture that came to the fore in Roberto Saccà's interpretation of the Duke. A robustly lean timbre, a fascinating phrasing technique and a sure feeling for dynamic graduation distinguish him as a Verdi singer par excellence. He even managed to fill out the negative role of the Duca, the sonny boy, whose image speaks for itself irrespective of the medium, with touching and highly sentimental nuances in addition to the overbearing attack and haughty charm and rounded off this vain and egocentric character with a human component in "Parmi veder le lagrime" at the beginning of Act 2.

Opernwelt, august 2001

Roberto Saccà made a thoroughly successful debut in the role of the Duke, and his lyrical and virile tenor appears to be absolutely ideal with its wealth of bel canto experience for middle-period Verdi particularly in view of the fact that he also has an exceptional stage presence.

Orpheus, september 2001

Gala 40 Years Deutsche Oper Berlin "Don Giovanni":

Roberto Saccà presented the linear beauty of the two Ottavio arias with supreme good taste and artistic accomplishment.

Die Welt, september 2001

"Operetten-Gala" Festival KlangBogen, Theater an der Wien:

With vocal charm Roberto Sacca, as Adam, this Italian-born tenor even managed to show off with rustic local colour.

Die Presse, july 2001

The singers stood in the centre: Roberto Saccà delighted with the beautiful timbre of his voice as Barinkay ("Gipsy Baron"), with the "Maxim" song ("Merry Widow") or with "Grüß mir mein Wien" ("Gräfin Mariza"). Everything was just perfect!

Kronenzeitung, july 2001


"L'Elisir d'Amore" revival, San Francisco Opera:

Opera's 'Elisir' has the right ingredients indeed, Netrebko and her Nemorino, Roberto Saccà, may be the cutest couple since Annette and Frankie. The pair surfed their way through this sentimental comedy with a charm that brought to this revival a logic and credibility egregiously lacking in last fall's performances.

San Francisco Chronicle, 2000

"The magic flute" revival, San Francisco Opera:

Roberto Saccà as Tamino , gave a performance marked by ardor and vivid stage presence. Saccà displayed both affecting lyricism (especially in “Dies Bildnis”, when he first falls in love with Pamina’s portrait) and forthright heroism.

San Francisco Chronicle, december 2000

"Cosí fan tutte" new production, Opera Zurich :

Roberto Saccà is ideal for the role of Ferrando: his singing is clear, rich in contrast and nuances, and his perfectly placed high notes melt every heart.

L'Opera, march 2000

As Ferrando Roberto Saccà relies upon his impeccably controlled, mellow tenor voice - and he may well have conquered a great many female hearts particularly with his magisterial rendering of the aria "Un' aura amorosa".

Die Südostschweiz, February 2000

As Ferrando, Roberto Saccà pulls out all the seductive stops in his tenor register with lyrical mellowness.

Frankfurter Rundschau, February 2000

Quite simply perfect is Roberto Saccà as Ferrando with his brilliant tenor voice and Neapolitan flair.

Berliner Tagesspiegel, February 2000

"La Traviata" new production, Opera Cologne:

Oasis of good fortune: With the Russian soprano and with Roberto Saccà (Alfredo) protagonists are appearing in Cologne for Verdi's "Traviata", who do not have to fight to win the credibility of young people by artistic ability but can do it by means of an experience of song. Roberto Saccà is a slim youth, impassioned, charming, adorable, but also short-tempered and full of anger, he sings with a supple voice, sure on the high notes, gives forth on happiness and despondency, on love and suffering with the effervescence of a heart rich in emotion.

Opernwelt, February 2000

The casting of the two main characters for this production can be classed as a stroke of luck: Roberto Saccà in his debut in the role of Alfredo Germont gives a performance which, without lacking in good technique in any way, has a completely different effect on the audience. His pleasant tenor voice, which sounds so natural, trained in singing Mozart, Donizetti, Rossini and in voice, emphasises the freshness of the "newcomer in the Fête Club" just arrived in Paris from the provinces who is able to sing his way into Violetta's heart (and that of the audience) not only with his mischievous balancing act but also primarily through his innocence and sincerity.

Opernglas, February 2000

"Don Giovanni" new production, Oper Baltimore:

Some of the finest work of the evening came from the Don Ottavio of Roberto Saccà. Few tenors have the energy, gallantry and heroisme the role needs - Saccà has all three.

The Sun, Oct. 1999

"Daphne" new production, Deutsche Oper Berlin:

Roberto Saccà as Daphne's unhappy friend impressed not only with the superior technique of a singer that has been trained with Rossini parts, but also with his youthful vigour. One might almost call him the ideal casting for that particular role, also because his text could be understood at any stage.

Opernglas, Sept. 1999

Classic Open Air - Gala, Berlin:

With Roberto Saccà's appearance the brilliance of his dreamlike voice irradiated allunpleasantness of the evening. This striking lyric tenor knows to model musical characters - the languishing Nemorino, the seductive duke, the tender Alfredo and a Tonio, whose ardent desire for the regiment's daughter takes the hurdle of the high c nine times without any efforts.

Berliner Morgenpost, July 1999

"Don Giovanni" new production, Opera Zurich:

The highlight: Roberto Saccà, a simply opulent tenor, renders the part of Don Ottavio without the slightest trace of difficulties, saved the honour of the whole performance.

Neue Züricher Zeitung, February 1999

At her side Don Ottavio, performed by Roberto Saccà with one of the most beautifull lyric tenor-voices - his coloraturas are immaculate, the tranquillity and his pianos of the first aria are mesmerizing. Flimm doesn't characterize him as palish weakling, but as artist and intellectual, who faces the very different world of Giovanni in his intellectual way.

Schwäbische Zeitung, February 1999

"Cosi fan tutte" new production, Glyndebourne Festival:

There is fine singing, with acting to match, from Barbara Frittoli and Katerina Karnéus as Fiordiligi and Dorabella, plus exceptionally elegant phrasing and tone from Roberto Sacca as Ferrando.

The Irish Times, Juni 1998

"L'elisir d'amore" new production, Grand Théâtre de Genève:

Not only is Roberto Saccà in possession of a smooth and brilliant timbre in every voice register, but he also steers clear of ostentatious special effects: his "furtiva lagrima" is a good example of this. His easiness, the youthful aspect of his performance and his vivacity also go well with the exigencies of the production.

Opéra, July 1997

"Der Reigen" world-premiere, Théâtre de la Monnaie:

Roberto Saccà, loved and admired, gives us a lesson in being charming. Under his curls of an aging Pasolini-hero is hidden a great tenor, who did not record yet much, but the dazzling memory of his Junger Herr in Boesman's Reigen will not fade.

forumopera, 1993
