“più convincente e vocalmente meglio rifinita rispetto a quanto fatto nella sua già positiva partecipazione di due anni fa”
OPERACLICK
“Carmen Giannattasio è un’ Amelia dal fraseggio aristocratico, amorevolmente appassionata e con una linea di canto ricca di suoni tondi, pieni e raggianti in ogni registro.”
GBOPERA
Carmen Giannattasio ha cantato nei panni di Amelia (Maria), incantandoci per il timbro soave e squillante. Espressiva e di buona recitazione, a suo agio nel ruolo della giovane donna in balia degli eventi e degli uomini, cui tenta con tenacia di dare una direzione di pace e di amore. Convincente in tutti i duetti, nei quali ha fornito ottima prova di sé.
Fermata Spettacolo
“Carmen Giannattasio è un’Amelia sofisticata. Dotato di una buona sicurezza tecnica ed espressiva, il soprano dà sfoggio di un’emissione sana e luminosa caratterizzata da preziosi filati, una generosa risonanza e una buona omogeneità timbrica . La postura e il fare aristocratico conferiscono credibilità al ruolo.”

Financial Time Richard Fairman
“Carmen Giannattasio’s Nedda, passionate, nervous, frustrated, was one of the most moving accounts I have heard of this tricky role.”
The Spectator Michael Tanner
“Carmen Giannattasio was a gorgeous Nedda, reflective but feisty, with bags of charm: her warm, lyric soprano was perfect for the role, displaying a wide palette of colours, and her softer singing was a welcome respite from the maelstrom.”
Opera Now Francis Muzzu
“Carmen Giannattassio’s Nedda, her first go at the role, was also rewarding, a woman both tough and yet potentially vulnerable.”
Opera Magazine Russ McDonald
“Italian soprano Carmen Giannattasio’s Nedda […] had fiery style and panache
The Observer
Carmen Giannattasio was a febrile, edgy Nedda with thrilling high notes and a perfectly judged sense of line
Music OHM Keith Mcdonnell
“This Nedda is a modern, fully emancipated buy essay woman thanks to the extremely attractive Carmen Giannattasio. She’s full of sexual energy..Giannattasio gives a tremendous emotionally dense interpretation with a clear and skilled Belcanto in which every nuance of words is intensely tangible in vocal saturation.”
Concerti Magazine
Carmen Giannattasio was superb as Nedda: the beauty of her voice was tinged with a slight steeliness, capturing Nedda’s allure and capriciousness.
Opera Today Claire Seymour
There’s a steely glint in Carmen Giannattasio’s upper register – and considerable power – which made her Nedda especially feisty, but she was also capable of goofing around nicely in her “Columbina” stage persona… and who else could scene-steal so outrageously in Cav?
Bachtrack Mark Pullinger
Carmen Giannattasio as Nedda, her lyrical yet sturdy instrument is an ideal fit for this repertoire and her complex physical performance is terrifically accomplished.
Whatsonstage Mark Valencia
Carmen Giannattasio, who sings and acts with real subtlety as Nedda..
The Stage George Hall
La Giannattasio Nedda, un irresistibile sorriso e presenza, in simbiosi con l’elemento sessuale – colori timbrici, quando sale, di velluto.
Giornale della Musica Salvatore Morra
…awesomely beautiful legato singing: dramatic, mellifluous, yet precise. A talented actress to boot, Giannattasio represents the very finest of Italianate singing today…

“Carmen Giannattasio dotée d’un medium solide, d’un large ambitus et d’un bagage belcantiste..’énergie, la ligne accidentée, les écarts assumés sans rupture de registre, les couleurs crues et les cadences héroïques..“
Forum Opera
“La soprano Carmen Giannattasio livre une Elisabeth très dure et autoritaire, semblable à une mante religieuse avec le Comte qu’elle désire à défaut de l’aimer. Dotée d’un sens scénique hors pair, et d’une excellente maitrise des aigus tant dans les nuances que dans la puissance vocale”
BachTrack
“Carmen Giannattasio affronte crânement les aigus meurtriers dont Donizetti a parsemé le rôle d’Elizabeth : elle en triomphe avec panache, à une exception près. Mais elle fait plus : elle EST la reine, d’un bout à l’autre, altière, autoritaire, violente, hautaine, ligne de chant tenue, souffle impressionnant, évitant sans peine le danger principal du rôle, virer à la harpie”
Culture Box
NORMA NCPA Beijing 2015
“top cast led by one of the most exciting sopranos of the moment in her role debut of the challenging Bellini heroine. Carmen Giannattasio possesses the precious combination of a rich, treacle-like middle register combined with assured top notes, enthusiastically delivering the rarest E-flat at the end of the second act duet “In mia man’ alfin tu sei”. And in spite of the vocal heft, she maintains the necessary agility for the demanding embellishments, rapid-fire scales and subtle diminuendos that are the hallmark of the bel canto composers.”
