October 2012
Albeit truncated and uneven, this confirms Vinci as a meritorious opera composer.
October 2012
The singing here is above all dramatically coloured...Prina has exceptional technical control and the cumulative addition of ornaments throughout her arias is genuinely exciting...Partenope is a sure bet for all lovers of Baroque opera, tightly controlled by Florio, dominated by the indomitable Prina, and a thrilling testimony to a Vinci whose prodigious talents are only just being rediscovered
14th January 2014
Sets and costumes are blissfully ‘authentic’...delightful music, beautiful sets, middling singing - but Sonia Prina in the title role is great.
