The most impressive singer was the baritone Dimitris Platanias, who on this showing could sing Rigoletto anywhere in the world: beautifully warm, heroic tone, a dynamic range from stirring forte to a pianissimo that lost nothing in colour or substance, musicianship and instinctive feeling for text - a name to watch out for in the current dearth of Verdi baritones.
Rodney Milnes - Opera Magazine - July 2008
Greek baritone, Dimitri Platanias first studied classical guitar and graduated with dipolomas in both Classical Guitar and Singing at the Kalamata Municipal Conservatory and with a degree in English Language and Literature from the Greek National University in Athens. After some persuasion he decided to relinquish the classical guitar for a career in singing and in 2000 won the Alexandra Triandi Scholarship from the Friends of Music Foundation in Athens to go to Cremona in Italy where he studied for two years with Masako Tanaka Protti, the widow of the great Italian baritone, Aldo Protti. Since his return to Athens he has collaborated with all the major Greek orchestras in various concerts. In 2003 he made his debut at the Greek National Opera singing the role of Alfio CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA and now regularly appears at the Greek National Opera and abroad.
