Reviews & Press

 
 

Metropolitan Opera - Verdi - Un Ballo in Maschera - Ulrica

I was again very impressed with the Russian mezzo-soprano Olesya Petrova as the fortuneteller Ulrica after her excellently sung Amneris last season. The tone was warm, enveloping and richly plangent while she managed the wide range from contralto depths to high mezzo tops without any ungainly gear shifting or register breaks. This was a musical, authoritative and confident traversal of the role.

Olesya Petrova ... with a fruity mezzo and commanding stage presence... Petrova’s singing was infallibly musical, with an elegance to her phrasing and perfectly integrated registers.

...Olesya Petrova was a chic fortune teller, revealing Ulrica’s prophesies in her plummy, dark mezzo-soprano.

Verdi - Il Trovatore - Azucena

Originally, the Italian maestro wanted to place the character of Azucena at the centre and name the opera after her: In this guest performance of this popular work by the Teatro Maggio Musicale Fiorentino at the Cankar Centre in the Slovenian capital, Olesya Petrova does full justice to this function, fulfilling it not only with her powerful voice, but also with great stage presence and glowing, creative and haunting power.
