Absolument magistral. Il n’y a pas la moindre faiblesse ni dans sa voix ni dans l’interprétation artistique. Une bombe pour les spectateurs qui ont eu le bonheur d’y être.

I love her acting and singing equally. She throws her entire self into each role, and is just one of the best ever.

[JK-xzmj]

I really like this interpretation and what a beautiful timbre.

[carjav-ppru]

HUGE OVATION for ELINA. Her interpretation and singing was just outstanding.

[rndrps]

Beautiful presence and interpretation. What a charming Eboli ❤️ too bad her planned Munich and ROH performances had to be canceled due to current situation. Really wish to see her playing this role in near future again. 💗

[albertogonzalez]

Una de las mejores mezzosoprano de ahora y de cualquier tiempo.

[rossmerchant]

I can't help but miss the barn burning pyrotechnics that heavier mezzos bring to this role, but I thought she managed it really well. Much better than I was expecting. I'm not hearing a wobble that others are mentioning and it doesn't 'feel' like she's out of her depth. I just read that she intends to do Amneris and Kundry(!) in the next couple of years. I feel like the latter will be good for her, considering she's coming from specializing in the sort of sensual french seductress roles

[freddiepiehands]

I love this! Fantastic interpretation. Beautiful voice.

[mauritiuswijffels]

Together with Verrett, definitely among my top favourite renditions!

[Shahrdad]

I thought the role would be too heavy, but she sings it in a lyrical manner. Beautiful.

[greatmomentsofopera]

Never heard her singing with such heavy chest voice. Didn’t know she had it in her! Fantastic stuff. More dramatically involved than I’ve ever seen her too. And it’s rare to get a genuinely beautiful Eboli!

[LaDivinaLover]

This is quite good!! I saw her sing this in an outdoor concert and it was laboured and forced or contrived I’m not sure what was going on but this is so much better!!

[enzosiviero]

Straordinaria voce fantastica attrice direi unica e bellissima

[bovnycccoperalover]

Brava, Elina! The audience certainly loves it!

[roxanet]

Comment fait elle pour avoir une tessiture aussi étendue sans détimbrer c'est juste magnifique tellement virtuose comme morceau et ça paraît si simple pour elle ❤

[Mimi-eyej]

So wonderful to hear the French version sung so well. Can’t sing covered in French.

[aliceducheshire]

Beautiful voice but fortunately with subtitles (and I'm french).

[javierriquelmegonzalez]

El nivel actoral e interpretativo de Elina es muy grande. Qué decir de su maravillosa voz. Única.

[Samuelify]

Bellissima e potente voce in una romanza dove la Verrett rimane insuperabile ma questa volta la Garanca si avvicina a quei livelli anche grazie ad una interpretazione più approfondita.

[frankG]

Is she really a mezzo? She goes soooo high! How is it that mezzo are singing high B, when that's supposedly the realm of sopranos? This is a general question.
