Soprano Clara La Licata produced a vocally strident and forceful performance with an expressivity in the role of Betsabea. Her clear articulation, vocal flexibility and pleasing tone impressed.
Soprano Benedetta Gaggioli, accompanied by the soft sounds of the flute, showed off the beauty of her voice with a sensitive and assured performance. Standing directly below the dome, her voice carried gracefully upwards into the dome, where the purity of her bright and clear-toned high notes were magnified to good effect.
