“Fortunato sang and acted the role with passion, sympathy and lustrous tone."
- The Boston Globe "D'Anna Fortunato...gave a lovely and feeling performance of Neris' Aria." - New York Times "D’Anna Fortunato’s knack for articulating clearly was a decided asset; her rich, communicative tone was another.

“Highest honors in the strong cast go to mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato….jumping accurately through leaps and vocal hoops with the text still intact and the musicality appropriate to the situation.” - Opera News
"a fitting vehicle for the soloist's rich tone and expressive style,... Fortunato sang...in a declamatory style richly adorned with vocal ornaments...magnificent." - The Portland Press Herald “Mezzo-soprano D’Anna Fortunato consistently meets the challenge with restrained emotion that finds freedom where both text and music require...the singer demonstrates a clear and sensitive understanding of both the poetry and the music.” - International Alliance for Women in Music Journal |
