Nicolas Blanmont segir í desemberhefti Opera 2019.
Stone updates the action to the present day, not provocatively or glibly, but in a way that engages with today’s world. Swathes of glamorous photos, millions of followers on social media, her own perfume and a private life that, thanks to the media, is anything but private: this Violetta Valéry is a star influencer in the world of beauty.
…
Pretty Yende made a stunning debut as Violetta. Her physical beauty is suitably electrifying, but she conveyed both the strength and fragility of the character, singing with full, rounded tone that she could take down to a whisper when required.
