Our production of Pietro Antonio Cesti's L'Orontea at the Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik has been the target of unanimous praise! Here's some of what's been said so far:

The painter Alidoro - a foundling who is identified at the end as Floridano, brother of the Phoenician queen Arnea - introduced the Portuguese tenor Fernando Guimarães. The fact that this dashing young man was sought after not only by the Queen Orontea, but also by other ladies of the court was credible. Vocally he convinced with his pleasant timbre. | Udo Pacolt - Der Neue Merker   full review

Fernando Guimarães sings Orontea's heartbreaker Alidoro - who also confuses all the other women's hearts - with a naturally virile tenor voice. He plays the erotic sun king (the supposed tramp turns out to be an aristocrat) with charming self-irony. | Dieter David Scholz   full review

The portuguese Fernando Guimarães plays the charming painter Alidoro - a good-looking and flighty young man who will eventually be crowned King of Egypt - with a beautiful sense of stage. | Luc Roger - Munich & Co.   full review

Fernando Guimarães gives his Alidoro much strength and mellowness during the quite long way to the final party. | Jörn Florian Fuchs - Deutschlandfunk   full review

Fernando Guimarães plays and sings through the favours and mistreats of all the women as in a parody of the Sun King, with tenoral freshness and delicious self-irony. | Ursula Strohal - Tiroler Tageszeitung   full review
