“ Cristina Radu assumed the difficult role of Violetta Valéry, with such intensity that we completely forgot that she was in fact Cristina Radu and no Violetta. At the end, she was rewarded with standing ovation. This confirms again that there cannot be a great performer without being also a great musician, a man of culture, the horizon and imagination .” (Actualitatea muzicală , Bucharest 2012, Romania) “ Bravo Cristina Radu, Micaela dai toni lirici e puliti ” (L'Unione Sarda, Caligari 2011, Italy) ” Sehr erfreulich war auf die Vorstellung von Cristina Radu als Margarete. Dabei gefiel auch ihre schöne Sopranstimme sehr gut, so zum Beispiel in ihrer differenzierten Interpretation der Arie am Spinnrad und auch den bezauberenden Liebesduetten mit Faust. In der Schlussszene schließlich präsentierte sie sich mit kraftvoller Stimme nochmals als große Opernsängerin, die auch Verdi oder Puccini singen könnte. ” (Pirmasens 2011, Germany) “ But it is over the character of Norina in Pasquale that the magician’s wand has passed, played by Cristina Radu. When, in the near future, La Radu is being fought over by La Scala, the Met and Covent Garden, we happy few in Malvern will be able to say: Ah, but we saw and heard her first .” (Herefordshire, June 2004, England) “ Cristina Radu seems to be an ideal Donna Elvira. Her vocal qualities together with her intelligence guide her to versatility in every musical score she performs. Her success as a mozartian dramatic soprano is only to certify a brilliant career debut .” (România literară nr.25/ 2003, Bucharest) C O N T A C T radu_cristina_ioana@yahoo.com http://cristinaradus.wordpress.com/ C R I S T I N A R A D U Soprano
