REVIEWS
1. Greek National Opera production of “Die schöne Galatee” (The Beautiful Galatea)
a.Instead of a mezzo as written by Suppé, baritone Zafiris Koutelieris performed Ganymedes' part with a sense of musicality, ease and precision, creating with an unashamed theatrical temperament the
caricature of the amorous employee.”Eleftherotypia 28/01/09
b.“Zafiris Koutelieris stole the show in the part of Ganymedes. Restless and joyful, he sang, acted, hopped along and was in brief the soul of the show.”

2. Greek National Opera production of “Der Liebesbazillus" (The Lovebacillus)
a“Still, the couple that literally set the stage ablaze was without a doubt that of soprano Elpiniki Zervou and baritone Zafiris Koutelieris. Their short, lively acts as well as their solo performances or/and parts in
ensemblesoffered some the most beautiful moments of the night.”15/12/09 Eleftherotypia
3. The Beggars' Opera's production of “Silence, the King is listening”
a"...Ζafiris Koutelieris (an almost legendary - in greek opera circles - lookalike of Rolando Villazón) is a hilarious King
