| She is a lovely actress: natural, charming, dignified, and youthful without being overly girlish....Her attempts to trill in the Council Chamber scene were unconvincing./ Review |
| Mart�nez gave a more even performance than Barbara Frittoli, the former's voice is bird-like and metallic, she reminded me of the mechanical nightingale from Andersen's fairy tale. Though more accurate, perhaps Mart�nez's voice lacks the beauty of Frittoli's./ Review |

| Tebaldi sang Amelia, a part she learned for San Francisco. There was a disconcerting lack of volume control. The tone could get hard and explosive./ pg 152 - 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |
| Kiri Te Kanawa�s Amelia was wonderfully incisive and rich toned, suggesting a Rethberg of old, only without the matronly sound./ pg 336 - 1922-1978 SFO-Bloofield |

| Carol Vaness in 2001 "Verdi Celebration" The most recent attempt to transform Carol Vaness into a Verdi spinto soprano brought mixed results. As Amelia, this popular artist musters the requisite trill for the Council Chamber Scene, yet in the aria "Come in quest'ora bruna" and in ensembles, the sound is not focused and the voice no longer blossoms at the top./ Review |
