"...Die Überraschung bot Vitomir Marof mit seiner schönen, resonanten Baritonstimme als Vater Germont. Er sang in schönster belkantesker Manier, mit vielen Zwischentönen, einen eindrucksvollen Germont und wurde vom Publikum zurecht gefeiert."
Werner Brünner, Die neue Merker Juni/07.
Vitomir Marof (Rigoletto) and Ivana Kladarin (Gilda) in Giuseppe Verdi's Rigoletto, Croatian National Theatre in Zagreb; directed by Andrejs ®agars, 2005 - 2010.
Darmstädter Echo, "Im Hauptgang Rigoletto..."
"...Der stimmgewaltige Vitomir Marof aus Zagreb ist die Entdeckung des Abends und verkörpert das Sarkastisch-Dämonische des Rigoletto mitreißend dank seiner theatralischen Darstellungskunst und des großen Klangspektrums seines facerrenreichen Baritons."
Albrecht Schmidt
"...Non molto omogeneo e di diverso ed alterno livello qualitativo era l'ensemble vocale, di cui citeremo, in ordine di importanza e valore: Vitomir Marof, un Conte di Luna dalla voce ben impostata, dal timbro bello e nobili nonché scenicamente molto presente ed incisivo..."
Helmut Christian Mayer
"Kärtner Tageszeitung", "Nabucco, das musikalische Glutnest"
"...Vitomir Marof mit herrlich "italienisch" timberter Stimme, baritonalem Wohlklang und phrasierender Gestalungskraft..."
dr. Oskar Tonkli
"Vjesnik", "La Forza del Destino"
"...This role of Don Carlos, is for bariton V. Marof one of his best achievements. He has shown great command of this character as well as its singing demands..."
Davor Schopf
"Un Ballo in Maschera"
"...Der Renato war VITOMIR MAROF, in Wien bestens bekannt als Germont der Wiener Volksoper. Eine echte Verdi-Stimme, somit waren die beiden großen Arien ein Genuss zu hören. Aber auch die großen Ensembles-zenen, wie im 4.Bild, wundebar angeführt. Der Schauspieler Marof konnte in dieser klugen Regie seine große Bühnenbegabung voll ausspielen. Er füllte den Charakter des gekränkten, zur Rache findenden Betrogenen voll aus, war aber niemals ein finsterer Bösewicht..."
