“It only takes a few moments listening to him sing to know why Xavier Prado could become one of the world’s best opera singers”
Reviews
Zorro - Opera San Jose
“Tenor Xavier Prado was simply glorious as Diego/Zorro. A veteran of the role (he sang it at Opera Santa Barbara before), not only did Prado sing the role with a ringing conviction, but he was also believable as both the lover and masked vigilante. He performed the very physical role (lots of jumping and sword fighting) with aplomb, which was truly exciting to watch.”
-Michael Antonio - Parterre Box
“Diego de la Vega AKA Zorro is a lyric tenor, who sings and sings when not brandishing a sword. Young Chilean born, L.A. tenor Xavier Prado was of indefatigable voice that never lost its sheen, and of the flashy posturing befitting a mythical bandito. Once an OSJ artist-in-residence, he has recently won important competitions as well as participating in Pesaro’s Accademia Rossiniana. Mr. Prado is a singer of proud achievement and great promise.”
- Michael Milenski - Opera Today
Zorro - Opera Santa Barbara
“Our Zorro, a k a Diego de la Vega, is brought fully to life through the handsome countenance and vocal aplomb of tenor Xavier Prado”
- Santa Barbara Independent
“Xavier has an epic voice, is handsome, and has an endearing stage presence,” he says. “He also has a good sense of humor and can play both the hero and Diego.”
- Kostis Protopapas in interview for Noozhawks
William Tell - Southwest Opera
“... fisherman Ruodi comes on stage and sings a completely exposed aria with flute and harp accompaniment (no place to hide mistakes) that has several high C’s (Accours dans ma nacelle)... the aria is a severe test, but Apprentice Artist Xavier Prado Caceres sailed right through it.”
- CHARLES JERNIGAN - THE ITINERANT MELOMANE
Roméo et Juliette- Mission Opera & Valley Opera and Performing Arts
“Xavier Prado plays Roméo with intensity and flair. His vocals soar as he portrays the role while commanding the stage. His Roméo is a perfect example of what it means to play a lead in an opera and showcases the quality of the Valley Opera and Performing Arts…”
“…we see the despair Roméo feels because of Xavier Prado’s truly stunning acting and vocals.”
-Valley Scene Magazine
Rigoletto - Pacific Lyric Association
"Pacific Lyric’s Duke, Xavier Prado-Caceres, sings his role beautifully. His voice is consistent and sounds like itself."
- SAN DIEGO READER
La Boheme - Ridgecrest Opera
"Xavier Prado, who portrays Rodolfo, proves an astounding tenor, with one solo literally stopping the show"
- Ridgecrest Daily Independent
“I wish to sing of my interior visions with the naive candor of a child”
FeatureD
"The 22-year-old light lyric tenor from Chile has the type of vocal abilities that even opera greats like Luciano Pavarotti might have envied at his age. "
