Baritone

 
 
  • Figaro is in his wheelhouse. He is a flamboyant, stylish, delightful Figaro in total ease with the tongue twists and commanding mannerisms – an almost storybook personification.

    -Dominique Paul Noth, Urban Milwaukee

  • (Michigan Opera Theater’s production of Carmen) Baritone Luis Orozco, who, of course, sings the signature “Votre toast, je peux vous le render,” commonly known as “The “Toreador Song,” and lures Carmen to his persona, does a very solid job throughout.

    -David Kiley, Encore Michigan

  • Orozco, a singer with wide experience, brings precision and power to his music. His imposing presence and graceful dance steps complement and enhance the title character without making him only a supporting player. He is the figure Maria must listen to.

  • Baritone Luis Alejandro Orozco, also a veteran of the opera, interprets the archetypal male, El Payador, with impassioned vocals and strong, decisive movement in the tango, asserting his domination in every dance.

    -Linda Loomis

  • Orozco cut a charismatic figure as the lecherous Count Almaviva. His Count swaggered with a touch of cruelty. He projected an imposing presence, both vocally and dramatically, and his facial expressions (one of the benefits of a small theater) were memorable.
