BRAVISSIMA LIANA - ADRIANA LECOUVREUR!!
Congratulations to our marvelous LIANA ALEKSANYAN for a triumphant debut in the title role of Francesco Cilea's "Adriana Lecouvreur" at Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Düsseldorf!
The press has been raving as well: „mesmerizing beauty of her vocal lines”, “glistening sweet cantilenas” and “splendour of her lyrical lines and dramatic emotional outbursts”!

“Liana Aleksanyan lives up to the title roles' high demands ravishingly. Her soft vocal lines are of mesmerizing beauty, her voice is powerful and well-rounded and highly expressive and not only in the forte passages. Even the spoken Racine verses, which the role recites as an actress, are performed impressively.
