and has sung with many of the world’s most prestigious opera companies including the Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera at Covent Garden and the historic La Scala opera in Milan, Italy

Yeah, and i've sung Mary Had a Little Lamb in the men's room of the Wiener Staatsoper. If the roles aren't worth mentioning, mentioning the houses where he's done comprimario gigs is deceptive.

Aha! Tamino at LaScala! Very nice, & article must say so!

I'm certainly not clear why the roles must be stated at all. Nowhere does the article state that these roles were leading roles (even though, in fact, they were!) and in the opera world there is no such snobbery. If you've done a role at Covent Garden or La Scala, you've sung there! Comprimario roles are roles, not chorus parts. At any rate, roles have now been stated and sources have been cited to verify all claims.
