Albanian soprano Ermonela Jaho had an excellent reception in Australia,
after her performance at Sydney’s Opera House as Violet, in Verdi’s “La
Traviata”.
Clive Paget, Chief Editor of “Limelight”, a magazine dedicated to classic arts and music, says in a special article that ” Sydneysiders can see for themselves exactly what the Albanian Soprano brings to the party.”
For the Australian magazine, her voice is a perfect way for transmitting the charm of Violet, thanks to a vivid and very passionate performance from Jaho.
” The great strength of this interpretation is Jaho’s ability to live and die in the moment, each and every moment. Anyone who’s ever studied singing will know that the ability to completely inhabit a drama while finessing Verdi’s musical demands – complex coloratura in Act I, controlled lyricism elsewhere – only comes with hard work, and then more hard work. Jaho has clearly put in the hours. The voice is perfect, sufficiently light at the top to deliver the grace of the courtesan, wine-dark in the lower middle register to break hearts, and not just Alfredo’s”, Paget says on Limelight.
