Critical acclaim:
“Tebaldo (Benjamin Bernheim), who loves Giulietta and is promised her as husband, took command of the stage with a volume that startled the whole Zurich house, and his strong physique was perfect for the role.” (Bachtrack)
“Benjamin Bernheim stood mighty as Tebaldo in action and voice, his large, clear, ringing tenor a force of its own but equally powerful over the chorus and orchestra.” (Operchaser)
"The male side of the casting is not left out, with Benjamin Bernheim's surprising ease in a role that is unfamiliar and to which he lends a superb timbre: this Tebaldo is one true protagonist of the action, "sponsored" by the old Capulet ..."
{Le versant masculin de la distribution n’est pas en reste, avec un Benjamin Bernheim étonnant d’aisance dans un répertoire dont il est peu familier et auquel il prête un superbe timb : ce Tebaldo-là est un authentique protagoniste de l’action, « parrainé » par le vieux Capulet ...} (ForumOpera.com)
