This L’isola disabitata…featured a young cast headed by star [mezzo-]soprano Vivica Genaux as moody big sister Constanza… …[This Haydn opera] is the highlight of this year’s Summer Nights Festival”

of her Antiope in Vivaldi’s ERCOLE SUL TERMODONTE
[Concert Performance with Europa Galante]
at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées

The presentation at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées brilliantly bypasses the typical pitfalls [of performing Vivaldi’s operas]. With a distribution of voices of such high quality, the evening was dominated by [mention of Philippe Jaroussky,] the virtuosity of the American mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux, [mention of Roberta Invernizzi and Romina Basso]. The inherent vocal challenges were expertly realized by the cast…

Of her Teologia in Scarlatti’s Santissima Trinita
- at the Scarlatti Festival 2003, with Europa Galante

Among the cast, both the valiant [Roberta] Invernizzi and Vivica Genaux caused a sensation. The latter’s assured intonation, polished lower register and clear articulation of even the most intricate passages are certainly no surprise; in addition, she boasts Italian diction which most native singers might envy. Both Genaux and [Laura] Polverelli, who did not take part in the opera, deserve special praise for their good will in keeping an engagement which, due to funding bottlenecks, seemed uncertain until the last minute.“

Theology was sung by the dusky and virtuoso-voiced Vivica Genaux.
