“Particularly impressive in her singing, the American Isobel Anthony stood out from the cast; she could certainly soon aspire to take on heavier roles like Violetta…” –
“The great triumphant of the evening remains without a doubt soprano Isobel Anthony: the technique is assured, the singing free, sparkling, and flowing – and, what’s more, the actress is irresistible!”
“We could not have dreamed of better than the fabulous Silvia of Isobel Anthony, a soprano with impressive accuracy who delights us with the freshness of her incarnation, and her solid technical means coupled with a timbre exploding with beauty…” –
The Charm of Isobel Anthony
But it is soprano Isobel Anthony who unequivocally dominates the quartet. Everything about this young American artist is more than promising: a fresh and lively voice, assured technique, and sparkling musicality that constantly holds the audience’s interest. She delights as an “innocent” and enchants as a young girl suddenly seized by love. Haydn offers her delicious arias whose spirit she illuminates with fluidity and enthusiasm. We can already imagine Isobel Anthony as Susanna in Mozart ‘s Marriage of Figaro and learn from the program that she is also involved in contemporary creation.
“To American soprano Isobel Anthony (Silvia) especially, go my personal praise, if I may say so: tight vibrato of great expressiveness, subtlety, softness of vocal emission, perfect articulation in the vocalises, playing of a vitality, a touching sincerity.”
