About the Artists

“Radvanovsky is a voice of almost immeasurable quality. It is a lustrous, dark-toned instrument, forceful in the upper register yet magnificently evocative and moving when employing softer tones.“ (Operawire)

“Radvanovsky, one of the most profoundly moving opera artists on the planet, made it (Medea) her own… This was by far Radvanovsky’s most adventurous and riveting interpretation at the Met Opera in her storied career.” (Operawire)
