What the Critics Say:

Evita

RNI Radio, RI Bill Gale "Sola's Che, the narrator/provocateur in "Evita" is nothing less than a well-shaped power trip. His voice is resonant, filled with emotion and his vibrant physicality makes him memeorable." The Call & The Times, RI By Dan Trafford Thursday July 24, 2008 "Martin Sola is perfect as Che, the complex narrator who incorporates a historical perspective with the viewpoint of Argentina's oppressed. His voice is impressive and his stage presence commanding. He adopts various personas depending on the plot and the song, but by the end of the play he's rocking a Latin revolutionary look that's reminiscent of another Che, Che Guevara." Theater Mirror, RI By Tony Annicone "One of the best Che's around is Martin Sola. The character is the narrator and moves in and out of scenes while commenting on her behavior. Martin's magnificent tenor voice soars in his many numbers including the gorgeous, "High Flying Adored" to the raucous "Oh What A Circus" and "The Money Kept Rolling In" with the chorus." Edge, RI By Chris Verleger Tuesday Jul 22, 2008 "As Ché, Sola carries the show brilliantly. His voice and expressions exemplify angst and disenchantment, yet evoke sympathy and caution."   All Pawtucket All the Time, RI by Doug Hadden "But it was Martin Sola as Che Guevara (the Argentine-born revolutionary), functioning as the hard-working narrator for the play while giving it a clear-eyed social conscience, whose singing most won over the audience, and rightfully so."

The King and I

"Martín Solá, as Lun Tha, sings beautifully and powerfully with Lor in their showcase duet of "I Have Dreamed."

Talkin' Broadway Regional Theater News and Reviews Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera

"Martín Solá and Luz Lor are resplendent as the lovers "Lun Tha" and "Tuptim". Solá is a tall, masculine, handsome man with a soloflex body that had the ladies in the audience swoon. The actor also has a soaring, crystal clean tenor voice that is fully supported by a booming belt. His vibrato coats this sublime singing voice like soft linen. Solá's stage presence is extremely strong, which adds yet more enjoyment to watch him on stage. "

THE COLUMN Theatre Awards Dallas Summer Musicals

"Solá's magnificent voice and presence are shown to great advantage in his duets with Iwama in "we kiss in the shadow" and I have a dream"

The Sacramento Bee Sacramento Music Circus

"Music Circus dropped wisely its big-budget name-recognition stars, its hired less famous people, but often with bigger talents. As the young doomed lovers who "Kiss in the Shadow", soprano Yumi Iwama and tenor Martín Solá are such performers. Beautiful to look at, they would also grace an opera stage"

Recordnet.com Sacramento Music Circus

"Other shining stars include Martín Solá who is bringing his experience to the stage in the role of Lun Tha which he performed several times with the Broadway cast, and his love interest Tuptim, is beautifully played by Michelle Liu Coughlin. Their passion is intense."

The Herald Bulletin Indianapolis Beef and Boards

"The performances of Michelle Liu Coughlin and Martín Solá, as Tuptim and Lun Tha, the Burmese slave girl and her Burmese lover, are intense and passionate."

The Barber of Seville

"One big plus here is the fact that, in addition to singing well, most of the players obviously were having a great time. Not the least of these was baritone Martín Solá as Figaro (Barber of Seville), the multi-talented barber in question. Solá took command of the stage - vocally and dramatically - at every entrance, with Solá's introductory "Largo al factotum" earning well-deserved bravos from the audience.

South Bend, Indiana Indiana Opera North

"The central character Figaro (sung by Martín Solá) leads the rest of the characters down a sometimes sentimental, often hilarious path to romance filled with disguises, intrigue and trickery." -

The Elkhart Truth Indiana Opera North
