reception

In his role as Kaspar Hauser in 2014, Baleiro succeeded in convincingly embodying the character in all its facets as an outsider of society. His Mediterranean baritone is described as safe and graceful. The point in the scene where Baleiro left the stage with the “Litany of the Feast of All Souls” in the finale is recognized as a magical moment. Baleiro's expressive baritone is highlighted as Figaro in the opera The Barber of Seville 2016. His opening aria "Largo al factotum" gave the impression of a hero baritone.

Prices

In 2016 he won first prize at the 17th International Robert Schumann Competition for Piano and Singing in Zwickau as well as first prize at the 9th Rotary Foundation singing competition in Lisbon. In 2017 he received the Theodor-Heuss-Kulturpreis donated by the FDP Rhein-Neckar .
