Reviews

Mary Stuart

Xanthoudakis was intoxicating with her cut-diamond clarity of tone, elegant legato, even crescendos and aching trills.

Herald Sun - Paul Selar - 4th Sept 2015

In the title role, Elena Xanthoudakis is a clear standout, bravura coloratura flurries and stratospheric ascents coupled with impressive carrying power, vivid characterisation and a superb display of fury when maligned by accusations of promiscuity and treachery.

The Australian - Eamonn Kelly - 4th Sept

Elena Xanthoudakis , the Australian soprano now forging a career in Europe, is thrilling in the title role: haughty yet vulnerable, agile and secure in the formidable technical demands.

The AGE and Sydney Morning Herald - Barney Zwartz - 3rd Sept

Gilda - Rigoletto

Limelight Magazine - April 2014

Elena Xanthoudakis as Gilda is dazzling. The role has the potential to be a dull stock character – a naïve female victim. But Xanthoudakis has it all: the adolescent playfulness of the Duke’s daughter, the youthful terror of the adult world she’s been thrust into and, above all, the notes. ...It was and is an opera well worth seeing, if only to catch a rising star in Elena Xanthoudakis.


Lucia di Lammermoor

The Spectator- Sept 27 2014:

...and they were terrific, especially the Greek soprano Elena Xanthoudakis, who sang Lucia not only brilliantly but also with huge elegance, charm and dramatic power.


Jewels of the Bel Canto

Courier Mail - March 2014:

From the first aria on this disc, Australian-Greek soprano Elena Xanthoudakis makes it obvious she is a singer to watch. Her exquisitely focussed voice has warmth and suppleness aplenty.

With glittering high notes, it is a tour de force... Her intelligent approach and melting tones make each gem on this debut recording a winner.
