Reviews
"Claudia Mavilia’s Susanna stands out for her rich, resonant voice. Equally confident on stage and musically
compelling, she earns the most enthusiastic applause at the end of the performance.” – Connessi all’Opera, Fabio Larovere
“The young cast is dominated by Susanna, which is all to the good, since she is the opera’s true leading character.
The soprano, previously unknown to me, is Claudia Mavilia, and she seems ready to take on roles at major opera houses. To begin with, she has a beautiful vocal timbre, remarkable vocal volume, excellent projection and
a very secure vocal production. She also demonstrates an enviable command of the role.” – La stampa, Alberto Mattioli
“Claudia Mavilia gave us an exceptionally assured Mimì, beautiful as the dawn, with a wealth of vocal nuances and a sumptuous,
even tone throughout her entire range. A warm breeze. We carry home with us, deep beneath our skin, the shiver of
"Addio, senza rancor" […] At the applause, she will triumph, and deservedly so.”. – Corriere di Novara, Diego Ragazzo
