REVIEWS
lang...''that the recital begins. An elegant solo section for Gulnara in Il corsaro, gracefully sung by Annick Massis, leads to an attractive canon for Ford, Laura Polverelli and her. Massis does have one item predominantly to herself. The long extract for Allan Cameron begins with a chorus, then at 4’10” the soprano enters with a recitative followed by a graceful aria of Bellinian refinement. After in interjections from baritone and chorus there comes a five-minute cabaletta. Massis traces the aria’s shape with long phrases and again shows that she can surmount the most ornate divisions.''

langOpera Rara has brought some of its finest singers for a first-class vocal display. It’s kind of a vocal marathon and contest of ‘anything you can sing I can sing better’. Massis, Cullagh, Opie and chorus practically blow off the roof in a rousing scene from Il Constabile. Cullagh displays her vocal virtuosity in an Elena aria, but then Massis sky-rockets through the finale from Allan Cameron.

Lucia di Lammermoor
The Metropolitan Opera

'' Annick Massis, who sang on 17th. Tall, lovely and primarily reserved, Ms Massis has one of the most beautiful, perfectly produced voices in the world. She moves gracefully and her fidgeting and nervousness, part of Ms Zimmerman’s direction, was noted and effective, but she does not really give the impression of fragility. That having been said, I suspect there will be no more enchanting singing at the Met this year than what Ms Massis offered.''
