Inna Los returns to the role of Cio Cio San in Madama Butterfly with Palm Beach Opera: Friday, January 27 2017, 7:30PM; Sunday, January 29, 2017, 2:00 PM
“As Cio-Cio San, soprano Inna Los sang with power and intensity, displaying a rich middle range, as well as thrilling high notes. Her well-considered characterization was fascinating, showing Cio-Cio-San's transition from a very playful, seductive young geisha, starry-eyed about Pinkerton, to a woman who realizes the terrible reality of his rejection. Los's "Un bel dì" was notable for its dynamic range as she expressed Cio-Cio-San's desperate need to convince herself, as well as Suzuki, that a faithful Pinkerton would return.”
OPERANEWS
The power of Los's performance was extraordinary, but her interpretation was entirely in the mainstream, and all for the better. Her singing was also in the classical tradition, recalling many of the great sopranos who have sung the role, like Victoria de los Angeles and Monserrat Caballé. The beauty and power of her gleaming upper register and rich lower area place in the higher ranks of sopranos singing today, and she is an actress with great gifts of penetrating a role and convincing us that it is real.
