“What a magnificent Turandot has Olga Maslova managed to create in this performance! The voice is vivid and powerful, ringing with the toughest Damascus steel even when she takes the top notes. That’s why the audience responded with cries of “bravo!” after each aria. This is Maslova’s first performance of Turandot part; however, it is already clear that the Primorsky Stage has received a new soloist, who is capable of performing the most complex parts, both vocally and dramaturgically”.
Tatyana Pavlova. Das osteuropäische Opernmagazin. May 22, 2022
