There is no praise high enough for the singers of the two comedic characters Eurilla
and Pasquale.  Victor Torres is nothing short of astounding as Orlando's squire
and Eurilla's love interest, Pasquale. He has several outrageously well-sung
and hilarious scenes, with the absolute highlight being 'Ecco spiano" in Act 2.
In this scene, he imitates all sorts of vocal techniques – including some spot-on falsetto –
and even wanders through the orchestra pit while drawing conductor Jacobs himself
into the drama. David Laviska - MusicalCriticism.com

Victor Torres is a great Pasquale. Although the score calls Pasquale a tenor,
Torres is a baritone. Haydn gives the character a patter aria in Act I, “Ho viaggiato in Francia”
which strongly presages Leporello and “Madamina, il catatalgo è questo.”
Torres delivers a fine comic performance with that, but in his Act II aria “Ecco spiano”
he shines with some truly fine singing. The aria requires him to run the gamut
from low to high and back again, with strong technique in coloratura and vocal control.

The audience’s favorite, beyond any doubt, was Argentine baritone Victor Torres,
who offered an all-round satisfying performance – velvety tonal quality, stylishness,
solid technique, theatrical verve and, most of all, he is really funny.
