REVIEWS
"Patrizia Ciofi's performance establishes her as the definitive Gilda for our times." Guardian
"...Ciofi's cadenza to 'Caro nome' won applause registering about 8 on the Richter scale..." Spectator
"[The] spellbinding Patrizia Ciofi, her voice like liquid gold, more than matches [Alvarez's] vocal power." Observer
"Patrizia Ciofi's Gilda walks away with the vocal honours. Her Italianate tone may occasionally turn a little "white", but in Caro nome she spins soft and fluent coloratura to evoke the character's dreaminess. A performance of real pathos." The Times
"Patrizia Ciofi's Gilda simply dazzled. She relished the challenge of the difficult, high passages that Verdi gifts to her, while maintaining the humility of her character." Evening Standard
