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

Sao Luis(BRASIL) O DEBATE 8/99
