- Dos cantantes con mucha escuela me gustaron particularmente. Constança Melo cantó fragmentos de Lakmé y La flauta mágica con buen timbre de lírico-ligera, segura en la franja aguda y las agilidades, de proyección considerable y técnica irreprochable (¡qué bien trinó!) añadiendo inteligencia en el fraseo y una presencia escénica indiscutible: apunten su nombre.
- I particularly liked two singers with a lot of school. Constança Melo sang fragments of Lakmé and The Magic Flute with good lyrical-light timbre, confident in the high range and agility, with considerable projection and impeccable technique (how well she trilled!) adding intelligence in the phrasing and an indisputable stage presence : write down her name.
