Don Carlo, Palau de les Arts Valencia, December 2017

 

“Among the female roles soprano María José Siri interpreted the character of queen Elisabetta (Isabel de Valois) with competence”
J.C, La Vanguardia

“...the Uruguayan María José Siri offered a clean-voiced Elisabetta thanks to an ideal timbre...“
Jordì Maddaleno, La Vanguardia

“Maria José Siri proves as Elisabetta why her career is on the rise...”
Gonzalo Alonso, La Razon

“His (the tenor's) duet with Elisabetta announced the vivacity of Maria José Siri, who, together with the incisive Violeta Urmana as Eboli, gave the most consolidated interpretation from a psychological perspective.”
Alberto Gonzales La Puente, La Voz de Cadiz

“Vocally admirable the Isabella of Maria José Siri who (…) displayed virtuoso “messe di voce” and full and round high notes.”
Alberto Bosco, Il giornale della musica

“Exquisite was the interpretation of María José Siri as Elisabetta thanks to a flawless technique and a supreme sensitivity, with which she signed a lyrical and delicate interpretation.”
César Rus, Ópera Actual

“...her voice delivery fell into place and displayed a more than satisfactory range of vocal possibilities, diminuendos, pianos and a good breath control...”
Juan José Frejio, Bachtrack.com

“María José Siri considers Verdi as one of her “fetish” composers, and if she inaugurated the Liceu season a few weeks ago as the “Ballo” Amelia, here she did the same as Elisabetta, rich with nuances, elegant in her singing and gestures, a powerful voice with a rich expressive palette, able to combine the lyricism of the “love” duets with Carlo or in her prayers at the beginning and at the end of the opera”
Robert Benito, Opera World

“María José Siri is a very exciting find as Elisabetta.  She is a real deal spinto with a big, voluptuous sound combined with an attractive duskiness and an even vibrato.  The voice is well placed, resonant and carries well.  Her ‘tu che le vanità’ showcased her beautiful legato as well as some impressive control of dynamics with an impeccable double hairpin on ‘Francia’.”
