In 2010, Panuccio sang with the Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra where the Cincinnati Enquirer hailed him saying “Panuccio served notice once again that he is a leading tenor of the first rank.” Panuccio performed Bégearss in The Ghosts of Versailles with Wexford Festival Opera in which Opera News exalted him saying “As the villain Bégearss, Mr. Panuccio gave what might well turn out to be a career-making performance.”
