“Costanzo has a remarkable control over dynamics, more-so than most countertenors, and this makes him a more dramatic singer than others. Listening to the soft, sweet ​“Lascia ch’io pianga”, the words sewn together with an impeccable legato, one is touched by sadness…The vengeance aria ​“Vivi, tiranno” from Rodelinda is delivered with passion and rage. Cascades of perfectly placed notes, flawless diction, trills and endless breath turn this into the showpiece it ought to be.”

“Anthony Roth Costanzo sings Akhnaten with a penetrating countertenor that can fill the theatre.”

“In the title role, the countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo acts with fabulous control and sings with an otherworldly bareness of tone that captures the Pharoah’s increasing remoteness from his warring nation.”

“The Costanzo countertenor is remarkable for its purity, sweetness, its ethereal, rather disembodied sound, not to mention an exemplary capability for fioritura…This discis a pleasure and one of the best countertenor albums in recent memory.”

“With so much going on, one might have wondered where to look, except for the fact that Costanzo, with his charisma, sensitivity, plangent sound and communicative power, magnetized attention. He alone would have been more than enough, but it’s unlikely that many audience members had any regrets about being treated to this excessive, ultimately joyous experience.”

“Star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo created a frightening and compelling Nero. He caressed notes and phrases with an exquisite attention that was never pretentious…hurling out vocal runs and high notes as breathtaking as they were chilling. His lithe presence and catlike grace endowed Nero with even more menace.”

Anthony Roth Costanzo, making his Florida Grand Opera debut as Orfeo, scored a triumph with his strong, sustained singing, and some hauntingly beautiful piannissimi in ​‘Che faro senza Euridice.’ Blessed with natural acting abilities, and using lithe movements, he achieved a complete characterization.”

“As the Boy and First Angel, the countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo adroitly navigates the luminous and piercing, the gentle and chilly sides of his two-sided character.”

“Agile and athletic, Costanzo fills the Resilience Theater with a commanding Caesar, able to blaze through Handel’s fiendish coloratura with breath to spare, then quieting the house with subdued ardour when wooing his Cleopatra.”

“as usual, Costanzo was extraordinary. He sang with plush yet virile sound while merging into his character, holding back nothing.”

“Anthony Roth Costanzo put his penetrating countertenor and astringent diction to find use as the petulant Prince Go-Go”

“Anthony Roth Costanzo stood out as Prince Go-Go as his countertenor displayed exceptional style and precision.”

“Anthony Roth Costanzo shone with a beautiful, penetrating countertenor as Akhnaten”

“Costanzo was vocally impressive and dramatically engaging as Scott’s close chum Roane Heckle.”

“Costanzo brings to the title role a voice that packs more raw power than any countertenor I can remember”

“Leading the cast is the American countertenor, Anthony Roth Costanzo, whose ethereal tones embody the doomed Akhnaten.”
