Mario Cavaradossi "Tosca"
"Ma partiamo per gradi. Il grandioso Diego Torre sostituisce, questa sera, Roberto Aronica regalando una serata meravigliosa sin dalla prima nota e confermandosi già con la celeberrima “Recondita armonia” che strappa un lunghissimo applauso, il quale si farà ancora più lungo nel terzo atto, dove su “E lucean le stelle” verrà reclamato ed eseguito un bis bello da far uscire le lacrime a quasi tutta la sala."
Teatro Carlo Felice
Guido "Eine florentinische Tragödie"
Canio "Pagliacci"
"Diego Torre s’avère simplement parfait en Guido, avec son timbre solaire et sa voix arrogante. Il renouvelle également l’enthousiasme suscité par son Canio à l’Opéra des Nations de Genève l’an passé, auquel il offre la même impressionnante véhémence : son « Vesti la giubba » restera dans les mémoires. Dans le rôle du mari trompé (et torturé)".
Opera de Oviedo
Mario Cavaradossi "Tosca"
"As the painter Cavaradossi, Diego Torre surpassed the first cast’s tenor, Rafael Davila. His “Recondita armonia” came off with polished lyricism and incisive high notes, a pristine performance that expressed the happiness that would be shattered in a few hours. “E lucevan le stelle,” is such a familiar number that it may be tempting to just blast it out, nail the high notes and enjoy the applause. But Torre did much more with it, bringing great expressivity to the anguished low tones in which he begins to remember his time with Tosca, allowing one high note to melt away and holding another remarkably long without stretching the music out of shape"
Florida Grand Opera
Canio "Pagliacci"
“From the beginning he makes clear a vocal power and theatrical strength.
His brilliant tenor, which has a fine enamel, is a reminiscent of the greatness from the singers who have triumphed playing this role.
With his perfectly toned “Ridi Pagliaccio”. Torre is on his way to catapult himself into the ranks of the dramatic tenors.
The power and passion that gives to this frantic jealous makes you shudder”.
Grand Théâtre de Genève
Dick Johnson "La Fanciulla del West"
"Lo más sobresaliente de la noche lo constituyó para este cronista el regreso a este teatro del tenor mexicano Diego Torre en el papel del bandido mexicano Ramerrez, aquí traducido como Ramírez,... Destacó enormemente el tenor por la belleza de la voz plena, madura, potente, poderosa, pero sobre todo por el manejo que hace de ella... ."
Palacio de Bellas Artes
Cav&Pag
"Diego Torre is about to become a member of an exclusive club of operatic tenors. Following in the footsteps of greats including Beniamino Gigli, Placido Domingo and Jonas Kaufman, Torre is to have his name inscribed on the honour board of singers who have sung Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana and Canio in Pagliacci on the same night."
Opera Australia
Faust "Mefistofele"
"As the erudite Faust, top to bottom, Torre fired and forged a blistering performance, his effortless Italianate tenor sailing smoothly and passionately across the music and text. Convincingly conveying Faust’s moral pain and sensual overtures, Torre made memorable the two arias for which the great Enrico Caruso recorded in 1902, Dai campi, dai prati and Giunto sul passo estremo."
State Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne
The power of the human voice
Opera Gala
"Diego Torre sang Arnold’s virtuosic Asile héréditaire, with its almost impossibly difficult top notes, with aplomb. Heart-achingly sung, intelligently interpreted, this aria displayed his astonishing skill in the dramatic lyric repertoire."
Queensland Symphony Orchestra
Mario Cavaradossi "Tosca"
"Powerhouse tenor Diego Torre gives arguably his strongest performance to date, the rock solid quality of his vocal technique resulting in a thrilling performance. Shortly after his first entrance, Torre brings the house down with a searing rendition of “Recondita armonia,” the final ringing high notes all the better for being given ample room to breathe."
