Critics praised Vittorio on his first major North American opera appearance as Rodolfo in Mariusz Trelinski’s production of La Bohème in September 2007. T.L. Ponick from the Washington Times wrote:
“Opening-night honors go to tenor Vittorio Grigolo as Rodolfo. Trim and attractive as befits a romantic lead, Mr. Grigolo erupted with astounding yet controlled passion in the first act’s famous love aria and duet. His performance throughout was brilliant, yet poised. He clearly has enormous potential to become one of the new generation’s truly great singers.”
Washington Times
“The casting is generally strong, and better than that when Vittorio Grigolo is onstage, singing the role of Rodolfo in a fresh, sweet, sensitive tenor voice that is nevertheless capable of clarion power.”
