Valentina Farcas / Umsagnir

“What Farcas created here – with no fewer than eight arias – was masterfully done. Each aria carried an emotional outburst. She is very clear in the center of the production and Farcas conjures every nuance possible in a soprano voice - like a diamond clear and bright, as well as pure sadness, against a wall of strings and bassoons.”

"Valentina Farcas’ two lines as “Mater Gloriosa” were one of the best moments of the evening, her words floating overhead a she sang from an elevated position behind the choir”
