FAUSTA– Gaetano Donizetti

Rome (Italy) 1981

 

THE PERFORMANCE OF FAUSTA – Amazing Kabaivanska masters an authoritative part with the agility of belcanto. For her, after the most wonderful aria, ovations for several minutes.

ALFREDO MANDELLI

“…Never for a moment did the temptation to alter or force her vocal means present itself, even if the part has a dangerous dramatic drive and demands a white-hot phrasing in many places. And in dolorous, melancholy introspection, in the tearful lyrical moments her interpretation has reached an exemplary summit.”

GIUSEPPE PUGLIESE
Il Gazzettino di Venezia

 


“The unhappy protagonist was given a magisterial interpretation in this Roman production.
Raina Kabaivanska is a stepmother whose physical beauty and pervasive aristocratic gestual seduction would make any stepson lose his mind. A great part and an unforgettable characterization.”
