Attilia Tartagni in her review, shows grat appreciacion by writing: “Mezzosoprano Cristina Guarino combines her innate thetrical ability with her consolidated professionalism in the roles of the gipsy “Azucena”, “Carmen” and “Dalila”,emblematic example of feminine seduction which she makes it her own. The aria “Mon coeur s’ouvre a ta voix”, by Camille Saint-Saens from “Samson et Dalila” is the cheval de bataille for mezzosopranos, it’s the manifesto of a love that the woman doesn’t really feel and its bound to dominate and destroy the biblical hero, an irrisistible and fatal chant just like the one of the Sirens of the “Odissey”, and thats exaclty how Guarino made it.
