"In turn, in the voice of tenor Daniel Umbelino, Dilermando gains an interpretation that is above all lyrical – his Seresta, at the beginning of the third scene, accompanied by Paulo Pedrassoli's guitar, was rightly applauded with enthusiasm by the audience."
Piedade by Guilherme Ripper
João Luiz Sampaio, May 23, 2023 concerto.com.br
"The soft, clear, clean voice of Daniel Umbelino lent itself very well to this role. He was a Belmonte that was to some extent fragile, as he should be, delicate, hopeful. A beautiful performance."
Die Entführung aus dem Serail - Theatro São Pedro
Fabiana Crepaldi, May 2023 notasmusicais.com
"Daniel Umbelino, owner of a privileged lyric-light tenor voice and refined technique, was a vocally convincing Belmonte, and interpreted all four of his arias very well, especially Wenn der Freude Tränen fließen, almost at the end of the second act. The artist also stood out in the ensemble numbers, such as the aforementioned trio alongside Pedrillo and Osmin, the duet with Osmin at the very beginning of the opera, and the recitative and duet with Konstanze almost at the end of the performance, Welch ein Geschick!"

Semperoper, Dresden - Il viaggio a Reims
Ioco Kultur im Netz
“The role of Duke Bertrando was played by the young Brazilian ‘tenore di grazia’, Daniel Umbelino, with convincing panache and presence, even as the soldiers went about their business silently behind. His interpretation of the highly decorated and demanding, ‘Cavatina Bertrando: Qual tenero diletto’ was impressive, employing a virtuosic bel canto style in his agile high register.”
