Reviews
"Quant au grec Dimitris Tiliakos, non seulement il est parfaitement crédible en « père noble », mais il joue d’une autorité naturelle qui se marie fort bien avec une voix solide et bien menée."
Forum Opera, Jean-Marcel Humbert
"Dimitris Tiliakos, timbre aux accents caverneux et au spectre large, est un Macbeth aguerri. Il épouse toutes les facettes du personnage, sa frilosité comme sa virilité, et nous ravit dans ses hallucinations («Va’, spirto d’abisso»). "
ResMusica, Alexandra Diaconu
"Le Macbeth de Dimitris Tiliakos est scéniquement magnifique. Élégance, humanité profonde, il ensorcelle. "
ForumOpera.com, Catherine Jordy
