Silvia Porcellini tratteggia una Clorinda attenta alle novità della moda non solo nel vestiario, pur con i pochi mezzi economici che ha a disposizione, ma anche nell’atteggiamento, sottolineando tali caratteristiche attraverso un’emissione morbida ed elegante.
Soprano Silvia Porcellini and mezzo Caterina Dellaere as stepsisters Clorinda and Tisbe were the best I have ever seen in these roles. These roles are not too demanding vocally and are usually so exaggerated that they are almost always forgettable. This was not the case thanks to their excellent acting and the director’s instructions. The latter intelligently chose not to make them into excessively hideous creatures. Each had her own persona and despite their vile temper and obnoxiousness, one had some empathy for them. Moreover, both had good voices.
