La Cenerentola ~ Don Magnifico ~ Opera Las Vegas

A true buffo, Adelmo Guidarelli was a hysterically funny Don Magnifico whose great aria "Miei rampolli femminini"

gave him a chance to play with his role and its fast patter. Thus, he showed the audience his excellent dramatic timing

~Taminophile (2014)

Tosca ~ Sacristan ~ Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra

Adelmo Guidarelli’s entrance as the Sacristan at the beginning of Act I put the audience at ease immediately with his joviality, as he worked his way through the theater with a dust rag, wiping off the woodwork, creating the illusion that  everyone was seated in an Italian church. His voice was both deep and powerful, cutting easily through the orchestra with a pleasing timbre.

Janine Wanée ~ The Boston Musical Intelligencer (2014)

The Ballad of Baby Doe ~ Horace Tabor ~ Winter Opera St. Louis

Baritone Adelmo Guidarelli was a first-rate Horace Tabor; not surprising, given that he’s one of the few opera singers who can lay claim to a MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs) award for a cabaret show. You don’t get that without some theatre smarts.
