Turandot, Detmold (role debut of the year), 2024
The young Italian tenor Gabriele Mangione presents Puccini's last great tenor role with nonchalance and apparent ease in his first appearance, showing a sophisticated role portrait full of color and emotion.

La Bohème, Aachen Theater, 2023
Gabriele Mangione had sung Calaf in the Detmold "Turandot" production the previous evening, but you don't notice this feat of strength in the young Italian for a second. On the contrary, he portrays Rodolfo with a secure tenor voice, a melting timbre and the odd sob in the right place, and he plays it wonderfully.

Turandot, Detmold, 2023
Gabriele Mangione, on the other hand, has the necessary mellifluousness and large-volume tenor brilliance that the role of Calaf demands. His "Nessun dorma", the famous tenor-hit, was greeted with applause, but was still not the highlight of his admirable singing performance.
- Von Heide Oehmen, Rheinische Post Viersen
Gabriele Mangione not only embodied the prince credibly, but also managed to give the tenor hit "Nessun dorma" an impressive melodiousness and impact.
