La bella dormente nel bosco, Spoleto Festival, USA.

Charleston City Paper

"Tenor Eduardo Valdes as the Jester & Prince has an ebullient personality that spills out in his singing which he makes appear so carefree. His voice floats off his tongue and rolls over the audience's heads so soothingly and naturally that if it were food it would be liquid chocolate."
 

"Eduardo Valdes thrill friends and colleagues with an impromptu show with the puppet, "Stickman". His movements ranged from unflinching realism to ethereal sway, with cues taken from the soaring operatic accompaniment. A jewel of a performance, unexpected and sublime, we sat in rapt attention and cheered wildly upon its completion. These are the festival memories that last a lifetime."

Turandot, Met in the Parks

Opera Japonica Magazine

"Eduardo Valdes gave an excellent portrayal of Pong."

Cleveland Pops Orchestra Concert:

Valdes showed himself to be a first-rate purveyor of song, with an appealing if somewhat formalized stage presence and easy familiarity with the highest reaches of his range, mounting to the top A's and higher with no visible strain at all.
