DEARTES.cloud– “The wonderful Anna Pirozzi, whose voice can only be described as “immense”. Rich not only in the high notes, which she hit with her usual clarity, she thrilled the audience with her impetuosity, tempered by subtle nuances between dynamic chiaroscuro and a rich and skilfully balanced colour palette. The soprano is authentically dramatic, pure energy. The imperiousness of her Abigaille emerged above all after she discovered that she was not really the king’s daughter and tried to seize the throne, displaying an energetic and resolute temperament accentuated by the whip with which the director armed her hand.”

L’ape musicale– ..“Anna Pirozzi, who for years has not simply worn Abigaille’s dress, but seems to have borrowed it from Nabucco’s daughter herself. Vain, imperious, in love and ultimately fragile, she plausibly portrays the complex psyche of the character and is a confident master of the young Verdi’s impervious vocal style.”

Le salon musical – The real star of the evening is Abigailledi Anna Pirozzi, whose well-supported and expert vocals in the role portray a haughty but nuanced character, combining ferocity and ambition with pain and despair.

Operaclick.com “…Anna Pirozzi once again stands out, mastering a part she knows and dominates to perfection, both in the turbulent high notes and in the rapid descents into the lower register.

Delteatro.it … ‘finding her counterpart in the imposing Abigaille of Anna Pirozzi, a specialist in one of the most formidable parts of Verdi’s repertoire, thanks to the vocal solidity with which she tackled the abrupt leaps in register from high to low, the thunderous soars to the C, the coloratura at full voice, and at the same time the nuances in the middle range of the tessitura. She also dominated as a performer, conveying not only the character’s angry and ambitious nature but also her more hidden, suffering and vulnerable side, as a woman and an unloved daughter.”
