KONSTANZE IN THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO "In Konstanze's great Act Two aria, soprano Dana Zenobi caught fire and elevated her attractive...work into emotionally intense and technically inspired singing. And in Act Three, Zenobi...found the key to impassioned singing about pensive worry and deep longing." -The Houston Chronicle, November 20, 2006 MABEL IN THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE "The chief vocal pleasure is Dana Zenobi, whose radiantly sung Mabel sounds like a healthy warm-up for Violetta. Her coloratura dazzles, and her phrasing is irresistible and melting. Zenobi is a soprano to listen for." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer, June 16, 2006 MIMI IN LA BOHÈME "Dana Zenobi looks like a drawing by Ingres, and her voice is just as inky: a deep, luscious soprano that spills out Puccini's achingly beautiful tunes with grace to spare. There isn't a false move in her performance, either." - The Houston Press, April 7, 2005 "Zenobi's voice was warm and her characterization intelligent." - The Houston Chronicle, April 2, 2005 AT THE ENTERGY YOUNG TEXAS ARTISTS COMPETITION "Zenobi offered "Ruhe sanft, mein holdes Leben," from the rarely performed opera Zaide. Poised and joyful, her performance was elegant and would win her the First Prize. - Houston Community Newspapers Online, March 12, 2005 AS VIOLETTA IN LA TRAVIATA "Zenobi had a good flair in the part - enough technique to make the showy stuff effective and a keen sense of the pathos of Violetta's demise." -The Houston Chronicle, September 17, 2004 AS ADINA IN THE ELIXIR OF LOVE "Dana Zenobi shines as Adina, her neat, business-minded character not taken in by anything the men throw at her, yet slowly revealing her affections for that young peasant boy [Nemorino]." -The Austin Chronicle, November 1, 2002 AS EURYDICE IN ANTIGONAE "Dana Zenobi in the role of Creon's wife had good dramatic presence." - The Austin American Statesman, February 22, 2002 | |
