Vetere Makes Debut at Carnegie Hall
"A fantastic showing came from soprano Maria Vetere, singing “O cieli Azzurri” from Verdi’s “Aida.” The fluid tumult of the accompaniment dropped for her lower, conflicted opening phrases. As the music returned, Vetere used an enchanting pianissimo to caress her following line open as she readied to delve into the emotional landscape of Aida. Vetere drew an abundance of meaning and beautiful vocal technique, earning the huge applause which followed."
Logan Martell (Operawire).
"Vetere’s performance reinforced Simonetta Puccini’s assessment of her as “the absolutely ideal Mimì.” Her “Si, mi chiamano Mimì” kicked off an evening of beautifully sung and sensitively acted opera. Everything—from her phrasing to her spot on pronunciation to her exquisite dynamics—lived and breathed Mimì."
Dawn Martens, Opera Canada 2019
“Italian-Canadian soprano Maria Vetere stole the show. Her singing not only combined the tonal beauty of Tebaldi with just a touch of Callas’ cutting edge ideal Mimì-– she’s a dead ringer for Elizabeth Taylor. Vetere caught Violetta’s desperation in Verdi’s “La Traviata,” Leonora’s over- arching passion in his “Il Trovatore,” Desdemona’s naïve adoration in his “Otello,” and the doomed fragility of Mimi in Puccini’s “La Boheme.”
