“Tenor Theodore Chletsos provided the next highlight in his take on the "Chanson de Kleinzach" from Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Chletsos's Hoffmann was very funny and physically engaged, not to mention remarkably well sung. His rich, full top was almost baritonal in timbre...” “...contrasted beautifully by the warmer, darker voices of Theodore Chletsos and soprano Suzanne Balaes-Blair..” “Chletsos was a terrific Radames...”                                                                                                                                                                                                    -- Patrick Klink, Baltimore Examiner 4.1.2011

 

 

“ 'Che gelida manina' was for the tenor Theodore Chletsos in the role of Rodolfo. It was evident from his singing of the aria he had right stuff to play this important role... When they then combined in the duet "O soave fanciulla," it was a true feast for any opera lover.” *

“The tenor Theodore Chletsos acts quite convincing the role of Rodolfo and well conveyed a variety of emotional passages.

“Standing out in particular was tenor Theodore Chletsos, whose voice is well-suited for this role. (Mr. Chletsos) displayed good intonation, beautiful tone, ringing high notes and impressive stagecraft.” *                                                                                                                                                                                                      -- Opera Gazete H.V, Antwerpen 10.16.2007

 

 

"All of the soloists portrayed well-developed characters, particularly the leads... American tenor Theodore Chletsos, with his splendid voice, played the arrogant Lt. Pinkerton." *

“With Theodore Chletsos of New Jersey, the festival has all the makings of a fine heroic tenor, perfect for Pinkerton, the Puccini role he will play. He proved particularly passionate in the famous "Nessun Dorma," from Puccini's "Turandot," which the audience roundly applauded. This is a singer to watch.”

“The role of Anatol…gave the handsome young tenor Theodore Chletsos ample opportunity to impress. He is a fine actor, sang very musically and neatly finessed several challenging high note climaxes.”                                                                                                                                                                                                  -- Roger Steiner, Opera Actual 7.29.2005

“Tenor, Theodore Chletsos, does justice to the younger Anatol, by singing an outstanding score, and showing the weasel Anatol really is. Chletsos provides the character one loves to hate, and provides it with perfection.”                                                                                                                                                    -- Holly Bartges, Colorado BackStage July 2005
