LADY MACBETH

Oussama Zahr, New York Times (April 13, 2023)

Featured in the New York Times' Top 5 Things to Do This Weekend

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

As Lady Macbeth, Lisa Algozzini charted the gradual degradation of a woman forced to reflect her husband’s ambitions back to him. Her “La luce langue” — haunted, fearful and quivering with uncertainty — became an elegy for people that she and Macbeth had not yet murdered, and “Una macchia” had a raw guilt to it...her performance was filled with gripping details.

Heidi Waleson, Wall Street Journal (April 18, 2023)

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

Lisa Algozzini has the dramatic soprano capacity for Lady M [Macbeth]

Rick Perdian, Seen and Heard International (April 18, 2023)

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

Lisa Algozzini’s Lady M [Macbeth] was bold, brittle and fearless. Only when her fate was sealed did her veneer crack. Algozzini soared through the vocal challenges of the role, capturing both the sparkle in the Brindisi and the terror in ‘Una macchia è qui tuttora!’ as she tried to rid herself of that damned spot…Macbeth recedes into the background as Lady M [Macbeth] takes center stage.

Loren Lester, SCHMOPERA (May 17, 2023)

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

If you are producing Macbeth, you better have a great “Lady M” [Macbeth]…Enter Ms. Algozzini, a diminutive Italian soprano who blasts us backwards with her extraordinary vocal cannon. A consummate performer, she can also bring it down for the intimate moments and takes us on the roller coaster of her inner turmoil. At first a schemer, coaxing her husband to become a murderer and ascend to the throne, her doubts and guilt seize her until she can’t take it anymore. Macbeth is the one depicted as out of control, while Lady M comes to her senses.

Jon Sobel, Blogcritics (April 20, 2023)

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

None of that would matter without great voices and acting, and Lady M [Macbeth] has both, starting with Lisa Algozzini. The diminutive Italian-American soprano makes the title role a tightly wound ball of dark energy. Her rich, powerful voice carries Lady Macbeth's unbridled ambition to the skies, whether she's rising from bed, pushing her husband to violence, or mourning an imaginary lost child. Baritone Kenneth Stavert matches her in strength, intensity and Verdi-worthiness as the thane Macbeth

David Shengold, Gay City News (April 18, 2023)

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

a fabulous all-in performance by Lisa Algozzini…a really exciting singing actress (which the part demands).

Jennifer A. Low, Shakespeare Bulletin, Volume 41, Number 4, Winter 2023 Issue

Lady Macbeth in Macbeth (Lady M) with Heartbeat Opera, New York City

The silent context provided psychological motivation for Lady M [Macbeth] (Lisa Algozzini) making her a more comprehensible and sympathetic character. Lady M’s high point was undoubtedly the banquet scene…as Lady M trilled a brindisi. Lady M attempted to draw attention away from her husband’s distress at the sight of the corpse: she downed another glass of champagne and gave an impression of wild intoxication, repeating the brindisi while dancing unsteadily on the table. Focused on Lady Macbeth, the sleepwalking scene became an anagnorisis––a tragic figure’s acknowledgment of error...but reframed Lady M’s madness as an awakening.

DONNA ELVIRA

Courtney Smith, NJArt.net (March 1, 2023)

Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with the Light Opera of New Jersey

Soprano Lisa Algozzini’s Donna Elvira...coped with her loneliness, torment & abandonment with...an incandescent “Ah, chi mi dice mai.” She sang “Ah, fuggi il traditor” & “Mi tradì” with flexible phrasing & resonant warmth.

Nora Ralli, Efsyn (May 7, 2022) translated from Greek

Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni with the Apollon Theater: Syros, Greece

Lisa Algozzini...was an out-of-this-world Donna Elvira.

An ideal role for the small, very powerful Lisa Algozzini who plays a poignant character with precise singing.

MUSETTA

Algozzini...performs Musetta with great temperament. In this way, she kisses her elderly lover on the head while she winks over to Marcello, whom she still loves. As the soprano sings the first tender notes of the aria, 'Quando men vo,' it suddenly becomes quiet on the tower.
