Outstanding reviews for Julia Sporsén’s Donna Anna
06 March 2008
Julia Sporsén’s recent début with English Touring Opera has met with outstanding success. Her fiery portrayal of Donna Anna is inspirational and persuasive, and a tribute to the dramatic qualities of this rising star.
Critical acclaim has been unanimous: “Julia Sporsén’s gorgeously sung Donna Anna” - The Independent; “Julia Sporsén showing great promise as Donna Anna” - The Daily Telegraph; “Julia Sporsén makes Donna Anna an avenging fury, with steely tone and menacing coloratura” - The Sunday Times; “Julia Sporsén’s Donna Anna…sings with a full-blooded intensity” - The Times.
The tour continues throughout April and May. For more details please visit the ETO website by clicking here
