Miricioiu has never received the attention that is her due.........If this
Norma was intended to make ammends, it did so handsomely, atleast insofar
as Miricioiu had a showcase for her talents.......she was as successful

Nelly Miricioiu's evening"

WASHINGTON CONCERT OPERA - April 20th 2001
"The Romanian-born, England based
soprano Nelly Miricioiu made Friday's performance worth hearing even for
finicky opera lovers for whom Bellini isn't exactly novel territory.........Miricioiu's
voice has a lovely passage in the middle to lower range, where Bellini's
sprawling melodic lines takes on a weather-beaten smoothness and glow.
She throws herself into the music, leading it along with her, with a precipitous
sense of interpretive daring.
WASHINGTON POST - APRIL 23RD TIMES - PHILLIP KENNICOTT - APRIL 26TH 2000 CHELSEA OPERA GROUP - May 5th 2001 A devastating tribute to Bellini: "Nelly Miricioiu gives a performance of a lifetime as Imogene, her dark, veiled tone hinting at terrible anguish, her coloratura ricocheting with pain and derangement" THE GUARDIAN - MAY 22, 2001 - TIM ASHLEY |

Nelly Miricioiu is the adored soloist in Vara Broadcasting

triumph in the title role of Anna Bolena on Dec 9th.
Michael Davidson (Opera - May 1990)
Washington 1993 "...Miricioiu really accomplished vocal miracles of interpretation .... " The Vocal World - WETA-FM (NPR) Brussels 1993 "She made the closing scene a happening. It is one of those rare moments when you felt what it meant for a Belcanto opera to suddenly become music of expression.." Opernwelt - June 1993 (Translation) Brussels 1993 "As for Miricioiu,it is hard to imagine the heroines role being done more excitingly or effectingly......... and it was impossible to detect any lack of beauty in the perfectly produced seamlessly threaded legato of her final scene-she has a technique second to none for a part such as Anna's whilst the voice itself, is Callas-like in timbre, encompasses a range of expression from gleaming half-light to bright beautifully controlled full throttle." John McCann - (OPERA -1993) Queen Elizabeth Hall, May 18, 2002 "Expressive timbres, sureness through the registers, delicately moulded, word-sensitive phrasing, easy reserves of power (called upon only wwhen apt) and equisite, telling soft notes conspired in a performance technically accomplished and unaffectedly, emotionally potent. Miricioiu delivered phrases that touched the heart. Her account of the three arias that form the finale- "Al dolce guidami", the lovely paraphrase of "Home, sweet home", and "Coppia iniqua"- was memorable" Andrew Porter - OPERA/July 2002 |

one..."
Joseph Mclellan - Washington Post
Marseille Opera Oct 8 2002 "Nelly Miricioiu and Donizetti's Lucrezia Borgia are a potent mix, as was demonstrated at the OPERA DE MARSEILLE (Oct 8) ...That it was Miricioiu who was singing, one of the few sopranos today able to impart dramatic potency to the bel canto idiom, seems not to have been a consideration, despite the fact that the composer himself sanctioned a conflation of the new and old finales...........to give a multi-dimensional portrayal."

Kasper Jansen - RC Handelsbad - Sept, 1992 (Translation)
Amsterdam - Concertgebouw - Sept 26, 1992 "In a different context, that very special soprano Nelly Miricioiu is the darling of Amsterdam's operatic public. Ovations, bouquets, and general ecstacy greets her annual appearances in the CONCERTGEBOUW......Unusually, enough in these days of super-hype, none of the excitement is commercially manipulated, and even more unusually, it is warranted." Michael Davidson - (OPERA - Dec 1992) "With Maria Stuarda Nelly Miricioiu made her second step towards the Donizetti cycle of Tudor Queens.........The final scenes of the opera are all Miricioiu's; it was one half hour of supreme vocal beauty and emotion through music" Peter van der Lint (TROUW - Dec 1992) (Translation) Lyon - 1996 "Nelly Miricioiu was in excellent form once again making one wonder at the lack of imagination manifested by the recording companies in their consistent neglect of an incomparable performer" Joel Kasow - Opera - March, 1996 |

"to the extreme you need a diva like Nelly Miricioiu to breath
new life into the part .... she found the right balance between technical
accuracy and emotional surrender. Formidable.
Eddie Vetter - Telegraaf
(Translation)
Royal Opera, Covent Garden, July 8 "There was much to praise, in particular an imperious vocal presence and great attention to words and vocal shading. ......in this role, dramatic instinct and commitment counts for a great deal, and here Miricioiu was second to none." Roger Parker - OPERA/Sept 2002 Royal Opera, Covent Garden, July 8 But it was Miricioiu's opera, and ultimately her evening. Hers was the longest role and the most demanding, not merely in its manifold technical difficulties but in its range of mood - suspician, hope, love, hate, joy, pride and finally a bitter, crazed fury. All of these require expression, both in the enunciation of Cammarano's text and in the vocalizing of Donizetti's taxing music. Even the greatest bel canto exponents might experience mishaps over such a long ordeal, but Miricioiu's diligent connection to words, music and meaning held out to the end in singing of outstanding consistency and command. Goerge Hall - Opera News (online) Opera Rara Recording Royal Opera, Covent Garden "Central to the success of this new set is the singing of the fine, characterful soprano Nelly Miricioiu as Elizabeth. With a voice far warmer than Sills's, yet just as flexible in coloratura, she gives a most moving account of the queen. Edward Greenfield (The Guardian May 9, 2003) |

| IRIS | IRIS | Amsterdam - Concertgebouw -
Jan 1, 2003 - She received her yearly homage at the Matinee and
her appearance at the top of the stairs sent her audience into a state
of rave. More was to come that afternoon. Although she's not a child like
the main character in the opera, Miricioiu's voice sounds young and fresh
and gave a thoroughly moving portrayal.
Hans Visser (HET NOORDHOLLANDS DAGBLAD) (Translation) Amsterdam - Concertgebouw - Jan 1, 2003 - She wholly consolidated her reputation as the 'Queen of the Matinee' and the heart and soull of this concert version of Iris was without any doubt Nelly Miricioiu who sang the main role with exhilarating force and innocensse at the same time, whilst the moments of terror were imbedded in the same voice, as in her aria 'Un di ero piccini'; also the closing scene was an absolute highlight..

As Isabelle,Nelly Miricioiu revealed impeccable technical

for even more expression and insight into the character; she turned her
great aria "Grace pour toi" into one of the evenings high points. Histrionically,
she was beyond fault as well."

Leyla Gencer used to give.."
HENRY FOGEL, www.geocities, the internet "This Maria is one of those hellish Prima Donna roles, written for a singer who possesses the low notes of a mezzo, the high notes of a soprano, coloratura abilty, great breath control and dramatic reserves. Nelly Miricioiu has all that, and is not afraid to show it. Vocally she is reminiscent of Callas (in her good days), in her portrayal the ostentatious dramaticism of Magda Olivero; she gives a first class diva performance."

Miricioiu is in both respects ideal: she has the vocal strength for the Act 2 recognition of her powers but in the duet can fine her voice down to a hushed and beautiful sotto voce; throughout she is quite riveting" Michael Oliver - Gramaphone - Dec, 1999 |

Octavio Roca - Washington Times Bath & Wessex Opera - 1993 "....it was, rather, the aquisition of one of the worlds tiny handful of "real" Violetta's currently before the public. This soprano, a Rumanian now resident in this country for a decade, has for some strange reason never arrived at an established position of eminence that her special gifts should assure her. All of our opera intendants ought to drop in on the Theatre Royal this week, to remind themselves how Verdi singing of Mediterranean intensity, colour and musical grace, can sound...............her control of portmento phrasing, tapering of dynamics (with soft high shadings of exquisite delicacy) and generously vibrant emotional attack are all characteristic of a noble tradition in the role - a tradition exemplified by fewer and fewer singers, which is why this particular exempler deserves to be cherished" Max Loppert (FINANCIAL TIMES - 1993) |
