Opera de Lausanne – Mitridate - ISMENE |
With her precise and expressive singing, striking in her most engaged aria „In faccia all’oggetto“ the Spanish soprano Aitana Sanz as Ismene presented a perfectly musical performance. She precisely interpreted the emotional contrasts of the figure from the excitement about meeting Farnace onto the bitterness of her indifference. She effortlessly masteed Mozart‘s semi da capo. |

The role of Ismene is also crowned with success: With obvious talent for the expression of enamored confusion Aitana Sanz as the sweet and impishly Partian Highness sings the opening aria of the second act. In the following vocalisation she also sings with great grace and sensitivity. In So Quanto her song is liberating, in a beautiful balance between passionate traits and deep compassion. Finally, her marvelous „Tu sai per“ (III) seems to be marked by an angel-like gentleness, pervaded by burning sighs and elfish vocalisations |

Claudio Poloni

Aitana Sanz has a youthful voice. In an authentic character role (she is the only one) she adds a beautiful flexibility and breath-taking high tones, which seem limitless, to the freshness of her timbre. |
Charles Sigel

Aitana Sanz’s Ismene is at the same time formal and lighthearted, childish and wise with a greatness of the soul, that she reveals after the betrayal of the man, who she thought was her lover. All carried by solid singing, expressing the different impulses of the rejected princess. |

Teatro Mario del Monaco in Treviso – Die Zauberflöte - PAMINA |
Sanz simply is a young Pamina, both in her sympathetic character and in her fresh voice with an outspokenly enchanting rich timbre. She moves with a huge easiness and sings with self-confidence. Sometimes, there is a little unevenness in the high repertoire, but this is forgivable sin, being such a complex part and such a complex text, which she managed to sing without any errors or inconsistencies. |
La Platea

Bregenz Meisterklassen – Rigoletto - GILDA |
Finally, the Spanish Aitana Sanz got endless cheers for her masterly performance of Gilda’s aria from Verdi’s „Rigoletto“ . One must have seen her entries which seem to come out of the blue and her secure coloraturas. They were simply phenomenal. |
