Press Highlights
About L'Italiana in Algeri: "Olivia Saragosa, the new Mezzo-Soprano of the house, leaves a brillant impression in her first big role. Although sung in German and that the role lies pretty low, Rossini's coloratura by Olivia Saragosa sparkle with amusement. How she relishes in the coloratura runs, how she also performs with wit at the beginning of the first finale (,O che muso'), how she shoots her Staccato-arrows, is pure delight. The singer received the only Bravo calls in the friendly final applause." Sebastian Loskant, Nordsee-Zeitung, 24.01.2005.

About the Thieles Garten concert: "With her crafty performance talent and her wide ranged voice could Saragosa present Gioacchino Rossinis Arie 'Una voce poco fa' from 'Barbiere di Siviglia', and also then embodying Georges Bizets love-glowing gypsy Carmen with impetuous temperament and big vocal fullness...The young artists presented a few operetta samples from Johann Strauss and Robert Stolz with youthful charm. And not only do they master the Viennese Waltz beat, but also the Broadway Swing: Enormous, how temperamentful and lively both ladies performed their Musical-Songs on the stage." Christian Ekowski, Nordsee-Zeitung, 14.06.05.

About the Operetta Gala concerts in Lübeck, Germany: "'Only have the 'Big Ones' forgotten, that also our operetta's closest form, the Zarzuela, is a wonderful part of Spain. Michael P. Schulz filled the hole. In his Ensemble is Olivia Saragosa (her real name), a Zarzuela singer full of temperament and feeling for the rhythmic intricacies. Sie excited immediately."
