Scene and the Act 3 Aria from

NYCO's Madama Butterfly

Honolulu Advertiser

Michael Chioldi's rich, strong baritone provides a commanding presence as the lothario Count who retains his patrician sensibility despite the plots and pranks that surround him.

Honolulu Star Bulletin

The baritone, Michael Chioldi, was an impressive John Sorel as he made his debut with Glimmerglass Opera in their new production of Menotti's The Consul.

New York Times

...in Glimmerglass Opera's The Consul  "was Michael Chioldi’s John, exhibiting an opulent baritone voice"...

Opera Now

With a noble and generous voice, the baritone Michael Chioldi conveyed in a credible way the frustrations and anguish of John, who fights in vain to find a road to freedom.

Ópera Actual  

Michael Chioldi made an uncommonly strong John, full-voiced and urgent.

Opera Magazine

Michael Chioldi’s strong voice and model enunciation makes one wish the role of John Sorel were longer.

ConcertoNet.com

...baritone Michael Chioldi made a sturdy, heroic everyman John.  [Castle, Citro and Chioldi] soared, full-voiced and well matched, in their Act I trio.
