"...sprang dann die israelische Mezzosopranistin Na’ama Goldman ein, die diese Gelegenheit zu nutzen wusste und mit beeindruckender und in allen Lagen sicherer Stimme und großer Spielfreude glänzte und auf ganzer Linie überzeugen konnte."
"...It is a role requiring substantial emotional and vocal stamina. It fell to mezzo-soprano Na’ama Goldman to essay the role, and it was a role in which she excelled. Her identification with Cesira was total; she lived the part. The emotional pain, the trauma and the occasional moments of happiness and joy were all expertly realized. Her performance was a tour de force. Her bodily movements, facial expressions and vocal interpretation were perfectly synchronized. The pain she was able to bring to her singing was stunning. Wrapping the vocal line in a tumult of emotions, she brilliantly gave voice to her anger, pain and fears. She was also feisty and combative. To the end, Giovanni was unable to subdue her. She also expressed Cesira’s more sensitive side, in which her voice softened and bloomed in her tender moments with Michele and Rosetta. It was a compelling performance!"
"Na'ama Goldman è una Cesira di grandissima intensità, affilata nell'articolazione, insieme spossata e aggressiva, immediatamente riconoscibile nel colore che aderisce come un guanto alla parola e alla situazione."
“Völlig in ihrem Element scheint die Mezzosopranistin Na’ama Goldman in der Hosenrolle des Nerestano. Stimme und Haltung zeigen einen jungen Mann, der definitiv entschieden hat, auf welcher Seite er steht.”
"A real discovery for me was the mezzo-soprano Na'ama Goldman, enthusiastically celebrated by the audience, as Zaira's brother and supposed lover, with warm-sounding depths as well as dramatic outbursts in the high notes."
