Svetlina

Stoyanova

  • "How long had it been since we enjoyed a leading voice so close to the coloratura contralto d’agilità that Rossini envisaged? The Angelina of Bulgarian mezzo-soprano Svetlina Stoyanova was a delight to see and hear! The beauty of her timbre and the homogeneity throughout its range, her unparalleled virtuosity, the tasteful embellishments, the elegance and finesse of her presence offered a unique pleasure."

    EVTYCHIOS D. CHORIATAKI, Athnenorama, La Cenerentola, Athens Olympia Music Theater ‘Maria Callas’

  • “First and foremost, the evening is a triumph for the young Bulgarian mezzo-soprano Svetlina Stoyanova . Her voice has everything to leave the listener delighted. A dark timbre, a rich depth and bright top tones, the ability to create rapidly gliding coloratura, all of this makes Stoyanova's singing a great experience. Her aria at the end of the opera is an acclaimed triumph “

    Online Merker, La Cenerentola, Angelina, Athens Olympia Music Theater “Maria Callas”

  • "She stole the show...it's not just the body of her voice, but also her agility, with ornaments that sound as effortless as they are precise, and her exceptional ease in both the low and high notes, which sounds resounding"

    Mundo Classico. Romeo et Juliette, Zurich Opernhaus

  • "No question, the young and lively mezzo-soprano Svetlina Stoyanova as Rosina is the centerpiece of the sold-out evening … she displayed a vocally polished and technically mastered character portrayal with strikingly beautiful highs, almost carefree with fresh energy, and her confident playfulness added life to the performance."

    Online Merker, Il barbiere di Siviglia, Vienna State Opera

  • "... Let's rejoice, or else we'd miss out on another gem like Svetlina Stoyanova, with a warm, unwavering, and endorphin-inducing voice that thrilled us to the core. Stoyanova's "Laceri, miseri, tanti bambini" and "O pallida, che un giorno mi guardasti" will forever be cherished."

    Opera Gazet, L’amico Fritz, Het Concertgebouw

  • "As Ruggiero, Svetlina Stoyanova was simply mesmerising. She impressed with her ability to suggest the character's gender, but also hinting at a certain fluidity. Her voice was a wonderfully fluid and even instrument, seducing over all the range. There was a beautiful flexibility to her line... 'Verdi prati' was mesmerising with the liquid beauty of line"

    Planet Hugill, Alcina, Glyndebourne

  • Stoyanova has the perfect voice for the role, the full range intact, but most of all it is her ability to negotiate Rossini's demands at speed. Over and above this is her ability to inhabit the role; something felt from a distance in Florence and confirmed in close-up with the YouTube webstream. Her voice floats magnificently atop ensembles; her 'Sprezzo quei don che versa' was the perfect launchpad for the Act One finale... Her stamina was remarkable - she was just as fresh in the demanding final pages as at the outset.
