Alvaro Rodriguez
Tenor |

"This young
opera singer proves he can let out all the stops but also shades his
voice for sensitive moments. Hopefully, Rodriguez will continue to
strive for the pianissimo nuances, as in the famous aria “De este
apacible rincon de Madrid.”... Both Sacin and Rodriguez have the
confidence to deliver high powered arias that could project to the back
row of a big opera house." (Rosalind Lacy, DC Theatre Scene, 5/27/08) "Alvaro Rodriguez is dashing and fun in his role of Count Almaviva." (Debbie L. Holmer, Advocate News, 04/24/2008) "Alvaro Rodríguez exuded youthful charm and grace." (Sarah Hoover, The Washington Post, 2/26/07)
This
season, Spanish tenor Alvaro Rodriguez has sung the role of Roberto in
the Spanish zarzuela Bohemios in a concert presentation in Washington,

recently performed in the In Series Exploring Zarzuela! presentation at
George Mason University.
In 2008 Alvaro sang the role of
