Tutto bene invece per la venticinquenne Caterina Marchesini, poco più che debuttante, sostituta d’emergenza cimentatasi in una grande parte il 21 giugno scorso con esiti più che soddisfacenti. Ho già accennato all’altra protagonista del 21 giugno, una Caterina Marchesini giovane di età e giovanissima di carriera arrivata quasi all’ultimo momento al salvataggio della recita. Più che comprensibilmente cauta all’inizio, si è distinta per ragguardevoli mezzi vocali, sicurezza di emissione e professionismo a prova di bomba nel delineare una figura di donna fragile, tormentata. Applaudita calorosamente sia dopo le due arie sia alle uscite finali si candida ad essere tra le promesse più interessanti tra le ultime leve.
Moto interessante Caterina Marchesini nel ruolo di Lina; voce fresca e duttile, evita saggiamente di forzare e i suoi momenti migliori sono stati l’aria del II atto e il duetto Lina/Stiffelio del III atto.
Ottima anche Caterina Marchesini come Lina, forte di una voce sicura e di una buona aderenza al personaggio.
Despite the relative weakness of the work, Lina is a luminous spinto role that some see as a precursor to the two Leonoras (Il trovatore, La forza del destino). Caterina Marchesini was a revelation in the role. This twenty-six-year-old soprano has a distinct and beautiful voice, with superlative technique and ample charisma. Her Act I aria, the prayer “A te ascenda, o Dio clemente” was delightfully moving, managing to convey Lina’s torment. Her passionate Act II scene “Ah, dagli scanni eterei”, in typical bel canto style, was masterfully interpreted.
Caterina Marchesini, with her slightly metallic timbre but solid technique, brought intensity to the role of Amelia.
Caterina Marchesini, as Amelia, has excellent technique and a flowing voice; she does everything as written and even respects the breathing marks, proving outstanding in Orrido campo and extremely confident in reaching the high notes.
The one who truly earned her well-deserved success was Caterina Marchesini as Liù, delivering a performance that grew in strength: …it was in the death scene that the soprano from Vicenza played her best cards, with a supple, rounded voice and excellent dramatic identification with the character.
Caterina Marchesini captivates as Rosalinde with her lovely stage presence—both affected and nonchalant—which suits the role well, along with her rich voice and expressive singing.
Caterina Marchesini’s Rosalinde benefits from a wide, well-controlled voice, with ample middle range, firmly grounded low notes, and a magnificent sense of nuance that makes the Csárdás "Klänge der Heimat" a true delight.
Caterina Marchesini is Amelia, with fire-red nails and a severe dress; her voice is full, well-colored, and steady throughout the opera; her vocal delivery is controlled and attentive to expressing the most intimate nuances of a character that the staging might otherwise risk overshadowing.
Caterina Marchesini’s Amelia, who succeeds well in mastering a role that undoubtedly requires great maturity.
