10“Chelsea Lehnea, with presence and a fashion sense bespeaking an exciting performer, applied her lean but keen dramatic coloratura to Odabella’s testing entrance scena from Verdi’s early Attila.”
“As the bewildered Paolina, Chelsea Lehnea is in excellent voice. Her warm but powerful soprano effortlessly negotiates the tortuous coloratura of her opening scenes, most notably in ‘Di quai soave lagrime’, where she is moved to tears on hearing the Christians pray for their enemies. With her superb theatrical skills, she convincingly depicts her complex character’s many mood changes and uncommonly swift progression from docile to fearless.”
