H. Purcell’s The Fairy Queen

(Les Arts Florissants — Auditorio Nacional de Musica, January 2024)

(…) the Portuguese singer had several moments of impeccable work, with a very beautiful timbre, with brightness but roundness in the high notes, and although he is light, he has more body in his voice than his partner. He is also a singer of great elegance, with a very fluent singing, without tension. From his first solo appearance in the second act ["Come all ye songsters of the sky"], he showed his vocal ability, but also his remarkable stage presence, which was very noticeably enhanced in "When a cruel long Winter", very confident, with a very organic approach to singing and acting. "See my many colour'd fields" rounded off his solo performance, confirming the tonal beauty and evocative nature of his singing. He is one of those tenors who prefer not to exaggerate, a rarity among his peers in recent years.

J. S. Bach’s St. John Passion BWV 245

(La Banda Baroque Orchestra — Augsburg, March 2023)

The excellent soloists, especially tenor Rodrigo Carreto as the Evangelist, provided a gripping performance, but the soloists from the ranks of the Domsingknaben and their chamber choir also sang the mournful arias with wistful devotion.
(…)
Alongside the wise Rodrigo Carreto, whose contemplative aria "Erwäge, wie sein blutgefärbter Rücken" was touchingly soulful, Andreas Wolf sang the Christus recitatives and bass arias with powerful expression.

J. S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio BWV 248

(Weinfelden, December 2022)

Wonderful evangelist: The young tenor Rodrigo Carreto.
(…)
With the Portuguese tenor Rodrigo Carreto, Manuela Eichenlaub brought a magical evangelist to Weinfelden. The young singer sang his way through the delicate secco and accompagnato recitatives with lightness of tone, elegant melting and great devotion, in which every caesura, every syllable stress was spot on.

Carreto's sensitive narration and the great filigree aria at the end "Nun mögt ihr stolzen Feinde schrecken" were simply wonderfully interpreted.
