Tosca - Chief of police, Scapria
“Marco Stella as Scarpia was, to say the least, magnificent: a dark, sonorous baritone with an acting ability that unquestionably characterized one of opera’s leading villains…”
— Skånska Dagbladet
“…The brutal and satanic chief of police, Scarpia, (baritone Marco Stella) has everything one could desire when it comes to dramatic intensity…”
— Kvällsposten/Expressen
“Sparks positively flew when the Chief of police and Tosca were together on the stage. The role of Scarpia was sung by Marco Stella, who portrayed the role of this diabolical man of power perfectly. Stella’s incredible stage presence enhanced the overall effect of his singing, making the vile character of Scarpia a pleasure both to see and hear..”
— Norra Skåne
Hänsel und Gretel
“Marco Stella’s Father was colourfully characterised and sung, superb as a rollicking drunk in “Ach, wir armen Leute” but convincingly sober when he realises that the children have been sent to the haunted forest on their own.
His diction was so perfect that one could follow every word he sang.”
