“Andrea DelGiudice is
the perfect Butterfly.”
“For those who never thought it would happen, here she is – a Butterfly
who looks pale, vulnerable and fragile. A Butterfly who resembles a tragic young
woman, and a heroine who can convey all the emotion of a tortured and betrayed
soul in her teenage years. She comes in the shape—the very slight shape—of
Andrea DelGiudice, who may be one of the few sopranos around today who not only
looks like Puccini’s doomed Geisha but who can actually belt out the vocal
line with sympathetic passion. A passion enough, in my case, to reduce me to
quivering tears at the end of Act One, and to have me gripping the arms of my
seat as the final curtain fell. This wasn’t a sing just for the sake of
a sing; this was a considered, balanced and emotionally charged presentation,
giving us an all-too-believable and sexually naive woman. We are all now well
familiar with this production, but Miss DelGiudice has the ability to make us
all forget its faults... and concentrate on the feminine view. This was a night
for Miss DelGiudice and the orchestra, who were given a sound workout. We shall
be seeing much more of Miss DelGiudice in the future.”

“Andrea DelGiudice:
A Star in the Making”
“It’s not often we are privileged to hear an opera star in the
making, but I reckon that’s just what we did hear in Andrea DelGiudice’s
remarkable representation of Puccini’s doomed Butterfly. Her petite frame
holds a voice of astonishing power and subtlety.... If Miss DelGiudice can
command a theater as well as this now, at the very start of her career, we
may expect extraordinary things in six or seven years.
NEWCASTLE JOURNAL, ENGLAND
“...a brilliant Butterfly!”
“Few Butterflys have ever looked like the 15-year-old Geisha of libbretist’s
imaginings, but Andrea DelGiudice, who hails from America did just that. Her
voice easily encompassed all vocal requirements, and , for once, “Un
bel di vedremo” was a genuine expression of faith and hope. She is also
an actress of no little ability.”
BELFAST TELEGRAPH, IRELAND
“The Cio-Cio San of Andrea DelGiudice (American in spite of the name)
was delineated with considerable delicacy and the strongest vocal presence
of the evening.”
IRISH TIMES, IRELAND
“Sir Alexander Gibson has before him a Cio-Cio San of superb quality,
a soprano of great flight and daring.”

Manon Lescaut, Arizona
Opera
“The singing of the title role was entrusted to the promising young soprano
Andrea DelGiudice, who was satisfying and elicited loud bravos for her vocal
and dramatic accomplishments. She revealed a voice of great power and beauty,
which she complemented with acting skills that went far beyond those of an average
opera singer.”
THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC
Il Tabarro, Opera Bonn, Premiere “Il Trittico”
“Andrea DelGiudice (Giorgetta) is most convincing, possessing powerful
material, technically secure and a great stylistic ability for Puccini.”
OPERNGLAS MAGAZINE
“Andrea DelGiudice with her easily and securely sung sympathetic soprano,
perfectly captured the character and intensive interpretation that literally
got under your skin.”
ORPHEUS MAGAZINE
“Andrea DelGiudice as Giorgetta, in which the production revolved around
both vocally and dramatically, portrayed a naive Giorgetta which was a great
contrast to the two men.”
OPERNWELT MAGAZINE
“As Giorgetta, Andrea DelGiudice was reminiscent of a young Katia Ricciarelli.”

I Pagliacci, Opera Bonn, Premiere “Wiederaufname”
“As Nedda, Andrea DelGiudice brought to the stage a cute and sexy whirlwind
with a light and remarkably beautiful soprano in the high.”
ORPHEUS MAGAZINE
In the double role of Lola/Nedda, Andrea DelGiudice, the young and fresh new
voice,offered a gentle, less aggressively erotic Nedda. Her controlled drama
and an under played pathos resulted in a positive effect of great beauty of voice
and vocal interpretation with a turbulent audience applause.”
GENERAL ANZEIGER (BONN)
Brockton Symphony Orchestra Strauss Concert
“... Soprano Andrea DelGiudice shows agility and vitality in her performance.”
“Soprano Andrea DelGiudice’s voice projected a mix of agility and
warmth ideal for the poignant “Four Last Songs”.”
