Critical Acclaim
Reviews
"Our host for the evening and Director of Talents of the World, Olga Lisovskaya, had us on the edge of our seat with "O Luce di Quest'Anima" from Donizetti's Linda di Chamounix. She possesses a formidable instrument of great beauty and impressive coloratura technique, including a trill to kill." (Voce di Meche, Talents of the World Festival at Carnegie Hall, 2019)
"Lisovskaya embraced Cunegonde’s “Glitter and be gay” with panache, tongue-in-cheek self-pity in spoken segments, and wonderful incandescence in high-lying phrases. In this aria, she was truly “Queen of the top E-flats!” (Boston Musical Intelligencer about Olga Lisovskaya's performance at Jordan Hall, 2019)
"Soprano Olga Lisovskaya brought beautifully limpid sounds to Micaela’s music, her voice soaring to the climaxes of her third-act aria. It was an interpretation sympathetic and heartwarming, her interaction with Don José caressing." (Boston Musical Intelligencer, 2019)
"Soprano voice, which is clear and perfectly formed" (Boston Musical Intelligencer)
"The highest level of vocal performance together with the wonderful artistic play and personal charisma of Olga Lisovskaya... created the magical atmosphere of musical feast." (Melrose Free Press)
"Olga Lisovskaya has a lovely voice and delighted us with some dazzling coloratura in Juliette's waltz "Ah, je veux vivre" from the opera by Gounod. This is a pleasing sound with lovely phrasing and some impressive expansion at the top of the register. " (Carnegie Hall, Voce di Meche)
"A move towards vivaciousness came when Olga Lisovskaya took to the stage to sing “Je Veux Vivre,” from Gounod’s “Romeo et Juliette.” The accompaniment kicked into the bouncing waltz after Lisovskaya delivered the opening run of coloratura with a resolute gladness. Swaying with the rhythm, she waltzed her way to the aria’s passionate heights with a series of upward melismas. As she sustained the sounds of the closing phrases, the rhythm of the accompaniment briefly slowed, like the heartbeat of someone finally catching their breath, until Lisovskaya capped off the aria with a triumphant vocal climax..."
