Un ballo in maschera, Brussels, May 2015
“Uruguayan soprano Maria José Siri sang the part of Amelia with great energy. The voice is powerful with a fine timbre.... She was beautifully emotive in her duet with Gustav, as well as in the great aria of the third act, ‘Morrò, ma prima in grazia,’ in which she also benefited from a superlative cello solo.”
Claude Jottrand, ForumOpera
“Accompanied by the warmth of the cor anglais, Maria José Siri brought to life the interior struggle that Amelia must wage in order to remain faithful to her husband.”
Biëlla Luttmer, De Volkskrant
“...the role of the unfaithful-faithful woman in the center of the interest was interpreted with vocal competence by the spirited Maria José Siri.”
Frieder Reininghaus, Deutschlandfunk
“Maria José Siri was an Amelia of impressive resources...”
Xavier Cester, Catclassics
“…wonderful interplay of Maria José Siri’s voice with the moving cello part in ‘Solo un detto ancora a te’ at the beginning of the third act) after an equally strong start in the second act (‘Ecco l’orrido campo’).…”
