Reviews
-
March 1953 "Simionato
is an exceptional Isabella. She overcomes the difficulties of the musical
figures which go whirling past and conquers the killing trios without
compromising the lively and impudent dramatic essence of the character."
Franco Abbiati, Il Corriere della Sera,
March 5, 1953
-
November 1957 "a
mezzo with the technical agility that one ordinarily associates with...Louis
Armstrong's trumpet!" Times Herald,
Dallas
-
November 1957 "Miss
Simionato is one of those stage geniuses of limitless illusion, being as
tall or as small as she wants, as beautiful as the Mustafa desires and as
mischievous as the role is" Morning News,
Dallas
