"José Lourenço displayed a clear voice and is extremely convincing performing Ferlucci as a devilish drug addict"
Semanário Expresso (2004)
"Fauna e Flora, is an unusual song recital (...). Its rhythm and humoristic atmosphere has been truly appreciated by the audience which has frequently responded with laughs and applauses"
Macau Daily (2002)
"Fauna and Flora is a staged song recital for all ages. It achieves an ambitious goal by proving that the music of Chabrier, Ravel, Poulenc, and the poetry of Apollinaire and Eluard alike can also be enjoyed by children. (...) José Lourenço, with a secure and expressive voice, fills the entire stage"
Terras de Montemor (2002)
"There and Back is a recital that certainly warms up the relations between Portugal and Indonesia. The show went very well and can be described as extremely beautiful, from the choice of the music to the expressiveness of the singers"
KOMPAS Newspaper (2002)
"Maybe audiences here are not surprised to listen to Ravel, Debussy, Falla and even Villa-Lobos, but who in Indonesia has ever heard of Lopes-Graça, Vasconcellos and Pinho Vargas ? Most important, their songs have been performed by a Portuguese singer who fully understands them and is able to convey their meaning with great expression and passion (...), the audience was mesmerised not only by the singing but also by the acting of José Lourenço"
Tempo Newspaper (2002)
"Fauna and Flora is a world made of slight touches, souvenirs from childhood, sensitive descriptions of plants and animals, hilarious annotations, scientific information and poetic references. A performance where the originality of its concept is sustained as well by the excellent vocal qualities of the singer, as by the delicacy of his performance and of all his team"
Comércio do Porto (2001)
"José Lourenço has confirmed his many talents and performed the role of President Wintergreen with ease"
Diário de Notícias (1998)
"José Lourenço, who sings Eisenstein, convincingly portrayed the character. He sang, danced and flirted with the women on stage without any inhibition"
Hong Kong Standard (1995)
"José Lourenço played Eisenstein. Again, his voice was clear and his acting convincing. The Act I duet with Dr. Falke was a perfect example of two lads planning an illicit night on the town"
Hong Kong Eastern Express (1995)
"José Lourenço is a young tenor of great promise, (. . .) displaying power and expression"
Opera Magazine (1997)
