Critical acclaim about his debut in the Metropolitan Opera in 2016/2017 season.

New York Classical Review wrote: "Anile ... has the voice: a clear, expressive instrument that pleasantly “pings” above the orchestra, and equally, what appears to be a fountain of acting chops. In the famous scene in which Canio realizes that Nedda has been unfaithful, the soft sobbing into his costume was undeniably affecting. And when he leaped onstage to open the traveling show, his drunkenness was believable, not overdone."

The Huffington Post wrote: "Anile’s Canio was a virile, force of nature performance."
