Christoph Seidl / Léirmheasanna

Splendid Nora Sourouzian as Eboli, who sings with emphasis and force, but who also has flattering soft tones.

Nora Sourouzian is a revelation. Her mezzo is of brilliant timbre, her vocal line magisterial. She portrays an ardent and passionate princess Eboli maintaining a rare vocal homogeneity throughout her range. She is completely at ease both in the canzone del velo, whose trills she varies with singular delicacy, as well as in her final aria O don fatale to whose superhuman challenges she fully rises.
