“As Lady Macbeth, Lisa Algozzini charted the gradual degradation of a woman forced to reflect her husband’s ambitions back to him. Her “La luce langue” — haunted, fearful and quivering with uncertainty — became an elegy for people that she and Macbeth had not yet murdered, and “Una macchia” had a raw guilt to it…her performance was filled with gripping details.” (also featured in the New York Times' Top 5 Things to Do This Weekend)

“None of that would matter without great voices and acting, and Lady M [Macbeth] has both, starting with Lisa Algozzini. The diminutive Italian-American soprano makes the title role a tightly wound ball of dark energy. Her rich, powerful voice carries Lady Macbeth's unbridled ambition to the skies, whether she's rising from bed, pushing her husband to violence, or mourning an imaginary (or lost?) child. Baritone Kenneth Stavert matches her in strength, intensity and Verdi-worthiness as the thane Macbeth”
“Lisa Algozzini has the dramatic soprano capacity for Lady M [Macbeth]”
“Lisa Algozzini’s Lady M [Macbeth] was bold, brittle and fearless. Only when her fate was sealed did her veneer crack. Algozzini soared through the vocal challenges of the role, capturing both the sparkle in the Brindisi and the terror in ‘Una macchia è qui tuttora!’ as she tried to rid herself of that damned spot…Macbeth recedes into the background as Lady M [Macbeth] takes center stage.”
"Soprano Lisa Algozzini’s Donna Elvira...coped with her loneliness, torment and abandonment...with an incandescent “Ah, chi mi dice mai.” She sang “Ah, fuggi il traditor” and “Mi tradì” with flexible phrasing and resonant warmth."
"An ideal role for the small, very powerful Lisa Algozzini who plays a poignant character with precise singing."
Lisa Algozzini as Donna Elvira...is magically old-fashioned and persistent.
...'Qual fiamma avea' from Pagliacci by Leoncavallo performed by the beautiful vocal color of soprano Lisa Algozzini.
Setting a perfect scene and the audience favorite was Musetta, sung by Lisa Algozzini.
Alcina, from soprano Lisa Algozzini, was powerful and rich in substance...
"Algozzini...performs Musetta with a great deal of temperament. And so she kisses her elderly lover on the head as she goes to Marcello, who she still loves, blinks at him. When the soprano intones the first gentle tones of the aria "Quando men vo", it suddenly becomes very quiet on the Munot.
"Highlights to point out:...the arrival of Micaela (Lisa Algozzini) in the third act, where she was very successful at bringing the cast together with her dramatic intensity."
