Opera Reviews
Newspaper, Besancon, France:
Bellini’s “Norma”
In the role of Adalgisa, which demands important vocal and
scenic qualities, Marla Volovna was perfect. This beautiful
artist, who has an imperial silhouette and demeanor, revealed a
femininity and power of emotion which expressed itself in the
duets with Norma and trio with Pollione.
v
Newspaper, St Etienne, France
Bellini’s Norma
Marla Volovna incarnated a strong and determined Adalgise. Her
forceful characterization overshadowed Maria Cioni who played a
too reserved Norma. A superb Adalgise, who gave power and
dignity to the role.
v
Sacramento Bee, “Don Giovanni”, Mozart
(Renaissance Opera)
Marla Volovna was a passionate yet precise Donna Elvira
v
Newspaper, Caen, France
“Kindertoten Lieder”, Mahler
In Marla Volovna’s interpretation we discovered a great
musician, a voice of magnificent timbre who felt her text with
such fervor as to become herself the hallucinating mother

Darius Milhaud
“Praiseworthy performance”
v

Marietta”. Victor Herbert
Marla Volovna’s Adah was cast straight and sung well in a part
which graded into the dignity of grand opera |
