„Stort skådespeleri och stor sångkonst visar Davide Damiani i rollen som Giorgio Germont. Med sin bäriga baryton målar han upp ett perfekt porträtt av en av operalitteraturens värsta fähundar, en egoistisk gubbjävel som använder moral och heder som ursäkt och korset som knölpåk. Det känns nästan synd att denna vidriga individ har begåvats med en av operans vackraste barytonarior ”Di Provenza il mar”, som Davide Damiani levererar i en utomordentlig tolkning.“
(Lars-Erik Larsson)

“Great acting and art of singing is displayed by Davide Damiani in the part of Giorgio Germont. With his carrying baritone, he paints a perfect portrait of one of the worst bastards in opera literature; an old egoistic who uses moral and honour as an excuse and the cross as cane. It is almost a pity that this obnoxious character has been blessed with one of opera’s most beautiful baritone arias, ”Di Provenza il Mar”, that Davide Damiani delivers in an excellent interpretation.”

„Barytonsångaren Davide Damiani skapade ytterligare en botten i föreställningen genom sin roll som Alfredos far. Hans fylliga och nyansrika röst gestaltade faderns motstridiga känslor med uttrycksfullhet och skärpa.“

„Med sin flotte barytonstemme gav Davide Damiani som Giorgio Germont os den velmenende bedsteborger, som er ude for at forsvare sin datters ære, og langsomt erkender Violettas sande værd. En meget udmærket præstation i en lidt utaknemmelig rolle.“
(BW)

 “With his fine baritone Davide Damiani presented us with the well-meaning model citizen, who is out to defend his daughter’s honour, and slowly recognizes Violetta’s true worth. An excellent performance of a somewhat thankless part.”

(Søren Schauser) 

“But his father in the form of the even more powerful Davide Damiani cannot stand the sight of his son at the side of a fallen woman, and consequently fills the couple’s first and last hours together with ordeals.”

„En compagnie de la sœur d’Alfredo (rôle muet), Davide Damiani incarne son père. Sa force autoritaire, plutôt que la légère élégance vouée à la persuasion, se conforme à l’interprétation du metteur en scène, mais gagne quelque peu en souplesse dans le piano de son haut registre.“
(Andreas Wahlberg) 

 ” Accompanied by Alfredo’s sister (silent part), Davide Damiani portrays his father. His authoritative power, rather than light elegance dedicated to persuasion, conforms to the director’s interpretation, but gains flexibility in the pianos of his upper register.”
