“Tenor Thomas Walters made an impressive debut with Dell'Arte Opera as Ulysse in Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria. His warm, honey tones were a thrill to listen to, matched with his phrasing made a cohesive and complete realization of the role. In this paced-out performance, Tom’s acting and well-versed diction were highlights of the production.” - David Santiago, Metropolitan Magazine
