Press Reviews
Amina in La Sonnambula
Calvìa Opera, Spain
"Fantàstica la protagonista, muy metida en su personaje, al que trasladò emotion y desde el que contagiò sentimento; voz potente y refinada, capaz de cantar con gusto un repertorio de florituras, gorgoritos y complejidades vocals, trepando hasta lo mas alto sin vacilar."
--Ultima Hora 2005
(The leading lady was fantastic, her character possessed contagious emotion, refined and powerful voice, capable of singing tasteful coloratura and agility in the highest ranges of her voice without hesitation.)
"...la que al final, por ejemplo, da paso a la grandeza de un aria sensational Ah, non credea mirarti, brillantemente interpretada por la soprano invitada, la norteamericana Alexandra Sapan (Amina), una voz que iba adquiriendo fuerza a medida que avanzaba la obra, hasta alcanzar el climax en el Segundo acto..."
--Diario de Mallorca 2005
(...the one at the end, for example, which leads to the greatness of the sensational aria "Ah, non credea mirarti", brilliantly interpreted by guest soprano, North American Alexandra Sapan (Amina), a voice that acquired power as the performance went on, reaching the climax in the second act...)
Carnegie Hall - Solo Recital
"Beautifully sung and acted, strong and elegant stage presence in her perfectly fitted black evening gown... performing the role of Susannah on stage, her body and somehow even her gown seemed to transform into the role of Susannah. There would have been a good fight to decide which was better, her Strauss or her suffering Violetta."
--Opera Notes 2004
Pamina in Die Zauberflöte
Orlando Opera
"Soprano Alexandra Sapan lent Pamina a backbone that made her Tamino's equal in heroism, and sang - especially in Act II - with a freshness and lyricism that made Pamina feminine, too."
--Orlando Sentinel 2002
