Reviews
what they think of me
The Saguntine soprano Silvia Vázquez gave an outstanding performance. Her “mad scene” had very brilliant moments and she sang like an experienced light soprano with well-emitted voice and show-stopping high notes.
— Nino Dentici
The Valencian soprano Silvia Vázquez demonstrated that she remains a high-quality lyric-light soprano, with magnificent vocal emissions in all vocal registers. Her role in this work is absolutely delightful.
