THE BROOKLYN SPECTATOR
Cavalleria Rusticana Regina Opera 2005
That is, until the gloomy entrance of Santuzza, played in an almost Greek tragedy fashion by Olga Bakali, black shawl on her head and draped over her
shoulders.
Bakali's strong firm voice with its alternate pleading and outbursts of anger at the idea of losing Turiddu to Lola, completes this messenger-of-death vision.
Athens: MESIMVRINI 6/93
The casting of the secondary roles made a positive difference to the level of the performance. At the climax of the first act was the soaring voice of OLGA
BAKALI, as the Priestess of Ptha.”
Athens: ELEFTHEROS 6/93
“…Mezzo-soprano Markela Hatziano (Amneris) and soprano OLGA BAKALI as the Gran Sacerdotessa were marvelous. Perfectly matched to the orchestra.
In this starry cast (Maria Dragoni as Aida, Giuseppe Giacomini as Radames), appearing for the first time with the National Opera of Greece, is the young,
talented soprano OLGA BAKALI.”
Sao Paulo: O ESTADO DO SAO PAULO 8/99
"...One of the most beautiful voices in Europe...a revelation from Greece, she will explode as a rising star on the world scene."
Sao Luis(BRASIL) O DEBATE 8/99
"...from Greece , the beautiful voice of the super soprano OLGA BAKALI"
