A great success for Joan Martín-Royo creating the title role in Xavier Benguerel’s Yo!, Dalí at the Teatro de la Zarzuela, Madrid:

“Joan Martín-Royo as Dalí is in a splendid vocal form and also delivers a generous and very well worked-out acting performance”.
La Vanguardia

“The role of Salvador Dalí was very well performed by Catalan baritone Joan Martín-Royo, a splendid actor. His voice was by far the one of highest quality of the whole cast”.
Music Web International
