‘Un Ballo in Maschera’ in Milan
"Radvanovsky gave us a singing lesson today. The voice has such apparently limitless resonance. It fills the auditorium, surrounding the spectator in a golden glow. It soars with such ease, just as it did in her opening Act 2 aria, where the ascent to the high C rang out, the breath control immaculate. Radvanovsky’s ‘morrò, ma prima in grazia’ was also sung in seemingly endless phrases, {…}

Turandot at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia
Radvanovsky’s first entrance, walking down the back stairs to refuse the pardon of the Prince of Persia, was breath-taking for the violence, the strength, and the anger that the soprano managed to imprint in her movements. Turandot’s big moment is her entrance aria in the second act, “In questa reggia.” It is a difficult piece. The tessitura demands both a strong low and high register, {…}

Critical acclaim for Tosca at the Metropolitan Opera
"Radvanovsky was extraordinary. Like Maria Callas, perhaps the 20th century’s defining Tosca, she uses the slightly grainy quality of her sound to exciting dramatic purpose. Her account of the great aria “Vissi d’arte” was at once intensely anguished and surpassingly beautiful. The ovation went on so long it seemed Radvanovsky might be forced to break character and acknowledge it. But not {…}

Lady Macbeth at the Lyric Opera of Chicago
"As for the dark psychological journey of Radvanovsky’s ambitious Lady Macbeth — alive with an almost sexual thrill in her relish of glory and power in “Vieni t’affretta,” and even more compelling as she falls relentlessly into madness — the grotesque nature of her dreadful circumstance is tragically apparent in the arc and color of each phrase. This was a performance by an artist in {…}

Tosca at Teatro Real de Madrid
