MICHAEL COSTANTINO
BARITONE &MUSICIAN
Costantino gets an A+ on all aspects of the Lord Chancellor. He is articulate, smart, and always in touch with his presentation. The guy never misses a beat.
Opera Metro
Robin Oakapple is deftly played by Michael Costantino... rich in voice and focused in character... he added an updated set of verses at the end... quite funny and on target.

Tonio in Pagliacci, and The Judge in Trial by Jury with Taconic Opera.
Mr. Costantino’s vocals wowed the audience on opening weekend. (Lancelot)

As the opera opens, a thin figure stretches out his arm in an agony of impatience. The pose is held through long orchestral measures. The tension vibrates.
This company had no such inhibitions. Fully capable of performing the flowing Donizetti lines, the voices were equally comfortable being raucous, imperious or anguished. This takes both courage and intelligence, qualities that this cast has in full measure.
Michael Costantino was excellent in the leading role. His Pasquale was a knot of desire and frustration, collapsing on the floor in humiliation, comically raging at the mounting pile of extravagances.
