Linda, rare and superb
Jessica Pratt's musical line is luminous and her musicianship excellent: her Linda displays virtuosismo with no difficulty whatsoever, with chiseled and round extreme high notes while still maintaining a good expressivity and investing her character with a true human nature (particularly convincing were the duet with the Marquis in Act II and the final reconciliation with her beloved Carlo), with a singing that remains creamy even in the coloratura
La voce d'Italia
Claudio Listanti
Linda di Chamounix sweetness and melancholy
a cast of undisputed quality where above everyone else towered the voice of Jessica Pratt, a singer gifted with a remarkable vocal technique showing a definite predisposition, albeit not preponderantly so, to vocal fireworks enabling her to effortlessly overcome the hurdles of a role written for one of the most celebrated singers of the time, Eugenia Tadolini.
Corriere della sera
Jessica Pratt, crazy and in love
In love and lost in the twists and turns of her mind but ultimately determined to achieve a radiant destiny of love: Jessica Pratt's talent shone on the stage of the Teatro dell'Opera of Rome in the title role of Linda di Chamounix by Gaetano Donizetti, in a mise en scène by Spanish director Emilio Sagi, with performances running through the 28th of June. After Bernstein's Candide in 2014 and last season's Lucia di Lammermoor, the Anglo-Australian soprano lent her voice and soul to the delineation of a complex and fascinating character, imbued with emotional contrasts and significant frailties: an unforgettable heroine whom the artist was able to bring to life in front of an audience filled to capacity, which rewarded her with enthusiastic applause

Sober tones for a semi serious Donizetti
But above everyone else towers Jessica Pratt, of whom one does not know which to admire more, the precision of her performance or the warmth of her interpretation. This while displaying an always flawless, extraordinary mastery of her instrument. She received an ovation, a true triumph
