“...showed total command musically and dramatically and a lovely, pliant voice one would seek out again.”
(Opera Magazine - UK)
"Her vocal performance is as committed
as the inexorable fate that she powerfully incarnates."
(Olyrix)
"Teresa Perrotta, whose big, sunny soprano belied the frequent hangdog presentation of this role. Ms. Perrotta suffered her indignities with secure, arching lines and melodiously amorous pleading."
(Opera Today)
"Of the solid quartet of Athenian
lovers, the mellow soprano of
Teresa Perrotta (Helena) stood out."
