“Di Giacomo fez o magnìfico final magnificamente.” PUBLICO – Pedro Boléo
“Quem salvou as honras do covento – aliás, mosteiro – foi a soprano Julianna di Giacomo, que interpretou com distincao o papel de Leonora, tanto vocal como cenicamente”. EXPRESSO – Jorge Calado
“There could be no real telling about the size of voices (because of the sound system). When Di Giacomo’s mike momentarily failed during the first act, the volume only slightly dropped. But she had the lung power and presence of mind to make up for it, an unscripted, thrilling moment.” M. Swed, Los Angeles Times
“Julianna Di Giacomo’s singing in “Otello” was consistently musical and thrilling, but once again I was struck by the detail and range in characterization. “Salce! Salce! Salce!” she sang, as Verdi specified, “come una voce lontano” in the Willow Song (in fact, very lontano, and beautifully echoed even more faintly by Carolyn Hove’s Cor anglais). “Unjustly killed,” sang di Giacomo from the side, as cast-members burst in on the murder scene. It was a rasp, dramatically appropriate. And it was as if Di Giacomo had found a completely new tone, not previously-employed, in her prayer, “Ave Maria” just before the murder. G. Williams, OperaWire
“Julianna Di Giacomo has an impressive voice that can project dramatic volume with clarity and when necessary turn poetic and lyrical. Her Desdemona captured the tragic innocence and confusion of the character, ending with a soaring rendition of “The Willow Song” and “Ave Maria,” that produced the largest ovation of the performance. J. Farber San Francisco Classical Voice
“Grâce au talent polymorphe de l’Américaine Patricia Racette, c’est le Broadway mythique du milieu du XXe siècle qui fait son entrée à l’Opéra de Monte-Carlo. Elle nous propose son récital Diva On Detour (Une diva fait un détour) en interprétant les chansons de Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, George Gershwin ou même Édith Piaf. Ses triomphes dans Madame Butterfly, Tosca ou Peter Grimes ne doivent pas nous induire en erreur : Patricia Racette est aussi chez elle dans ce répertoire souriant ou mélancolique grâce à la flexibilité de sa voix, son sens du rythme et son intuition théâtrale.” www.opera.mc
“Merita un paragrafo a parte la leggenda: Dolora Zajick. E’ vero che la vocalità della mezzo soprano comincia a sentire il peso di una lunghissima carriera, è vero che il volume parrebbe ridotto nella zona centrale… ma la Zajick è ancora un’immensa Azucena, con un carisma straordinario e una presa sul pubblico fortissima. Tutto nel suo canto, nei suoi accenti sembra reale, nato in quel momento, e questa è una dota che solo i più grandi artisti della storia possiedono e la Zajick è entrata a far parte di questi già da tantissimo tempo.” ierioggidomaniopera.com
“Nel ruolo di Laura Adorno il Grande mezzosoprano Dolora Zajick. Questa cantante, a 67 anni, mostra ancora un assetto vocale di tutto rispetto.” Lirica Oggi
