Suor Angelica & Giorgetta

Suor Angelica & Giorgetta

“Elizabeth Llewellyn [is] strong, open and pivotal as hybrid Giorgetta/Angelica” -Andrew Mellor, @operalastnight
“Indeed, the Suor Angelica in particular moved me immensely, especially due to Elizabeth Llewellyn’s sensational debut in the title role… Elizabeth Llewellyn’s role debuts were absolutely thrilling. She was a fine Giorgetta but it was really as Angelica that she gave a truly overwhelming performance. The voice has a beguiling combination of duskiness and velvety warmth. It’s a good size and she rode the orchestra with ease. Her Angelica was shattering, her acting completely raw and so immediate, her vocalism so full and generous that one could not help but be moved. This is a significant role debut for this excellent British soprano, one I hope she will return to very soon.”

“The young wife Giorgetta, the evening’s greatest joy and surprise, is sung by Elizabeth Llewellyn”

“[Angelica’s] aria, which is not known, is redeemed in the best way by the guest Elizabeth Llewellyn who is flown in from London… But in Suor Angelica she unfolds with the finest nuances and volume so that this neglected opera becomes interesting. Beautiful.”

“The two essential singing stars are sovereign. Bass-baritone Johan Reuter and soprano Elizabeth Llewellyn both have double-roles. Elizabeth Llewellyn creates both a challenging and promiscuous Giorgetta, scintillating among a host of stevedores, and a contrite Angelica, ostracized by both fellow prisoners and guards.”
