"In the role of Baoga, who worked in the harem, was countertenor, Konstantin Derri, who produced an exceptional portrait of the eunuch. His produced a strong acting performance, which was finely tuned to those with whom he interacted; his opening scene with Dirce was expertly crafted as they both fooled about on stage! He has an expressive and versatile voice, which he used to bring depth and interest to the role."

"Le contre-ténor ukrainien Konstantin Derri défend parfaitement le rôle de Bagoa, et on apprécie les énormes progrès, notamment concernant la diction, qu’il a fait depuis que nous l’avions découvert ici même il y a deux ans, dans un autre opéra de Cesti, Le nozze in sogno. Sa voix flûtée et parfaitement projetée, sa franche bonhommie et ses indéniables talents d’acteur, en font un personnage essentiel dans la complexe dramaturgie de l’intrigue."
