“David Lomelí is passionate about voices and about opera. His encyclopedic knowledge of singers and his uncanny ear for hearing where young voices will be in five or ten years’ time make him an invaluable asset. More than that, he is acutely aware of what makes a good “fit” within a cast, whether it be budgetary, stylistic, diversity, or temperamental. His extraordinary results and success speak for themselves.”
