r e v i e w s...........back to roster....up "The Marcello of veteran TCO baritone Timothy LeFebvre led a very strong cast of principals. LeFebvre's portrayal of the temperamental artist has grown; there is depth, suavity and passion. And that continues to be informed with crisp, forceful enunciation and excellent phrasing." (The Ithaca Journal) ". . .The team of six soloists. . .included a noble Elijah, baritone Timothy LeFebvre. The success of this oratorio hinges on the ability of that soloist to characterize the complex personality of the Old Testament prophet - in moods ranging from vengeful anger to forlorn despair. LeFebvre was a profoundly moving Elijah." (The Spokesman-Review) "Sharpless was wonderfully and consistently sung by Timothy LeFebvre. In fact, the emotional depth of his performance represented the best acting on stage. LeFebvre also has a commanding stage presence. When he sings, you listen." (Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin) "As the bullfighting Escamillo, baritone Timothy LeFebvre steals Act II with his boastful 'Toreador Song'." (The Tampa Tribune) "As Escamillo, baritone Timothy LeFebvre made a swaggering toreador, giving a vivid account of his brave confrontation with the bull." (Sarasota Herald-Tribune) "The big surprise of the evening was Valentin. . .As performed by Timothy LeFebvre in his huge baritone voice housed in an equally impressive body, the role took on a larger-than-life dimension. He brought down the house with the aria "Avant de quitter ces lieux" in Act II, and was dramatically effective in Act IV as he curses Marguerite." (Sarasota Herald-Tribune) "Timothy LeFebvre, a robust baritone, had the best French diction of the evening." (Opera Canada) "Timothy LeFebvre almost steals the show with his robust baritone delivery of William Jennings Bryan's ill-fated compaign speech." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette) "Baritone Timothy LeFebvre as Elijah sang with resolve and intensity - delivering a consistently strong performance throughout the evening. He proved he could also sing with delicacy and sensitivity in aria no. 26 [It Is Enough]." (The Post Standard - Syracuse, NY) "Timothy LeFebvre sang the role of the painter Marcello with enormous feeling and vocal clarity." (Ithaca Journal) "Timothy LeFebvre provided ideal balance as Valentin with a rich, well-focused baritone and convincing acting." (Opera News) "Guglielmo was sung with a ringing and unforced fullness by Timothy LeFebvre. Depending on the situation his character found himself in, LeFebvre's acting shifted gears from soulful to boastful to slapstick with ease." (Ithaca Journal) "As the rogue Figaro, Timothy LeFebvre continues to give confident performances, singing with great gusto and throwing himself into the necessary swagger of the comic hero, who brings the Count and Rosina together through his joyful plotting." (Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin) "Best was the baritone Timothy LeFebvre, who brought a sense of whimsy to the role of Don Medigua (El Capitan) and sang with verve." (The Pittsburgh Press) "In the role of Falke, Timothy LeFebvre wedded his extremely mellifluous baritone to a convincing dramatic performance."
