Concert Review
A triumphant Australian debut
Limelight“Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, Op. 7 (Summer Nights), six songs that reflect a great variety of mood in the many facets of love, is an ideal vehicle to demonstrate the singer’s vocal range and colour. Her performance is a triumph in its control, expressiveness and the ability to identify with the emotional content.
Le spectre de la rose has a dreamlike character that is mesmerising. Following a well-deserved audience ovation, the encores, if anything, are even more affecting – a wonderfully sensual Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen and a beautiful rendition of the Arlen/Harburg standard Over the Rainbow.”
