Reviews: Nona Javakhidze is a highly acclaimed operatic mezzo-soprano known for her versatility and powerful performances. She has received widespread acclaim for her portrayals of various roles, including Amneris, Preziosilla, and Carmen. Critics praise her vocal technique, dramatic presence, and ability to bring depth and emotion to her characters.

” Olga Lisovska had us on the edge of our seat with “O Luce di Quest’Anima” from Donizetti’s Linda di Chamounix. She possesses a formidable instrument of great beauty and impressive coloratura technique, including a trill to kill.” (Voce di Meche, Talents of the World Festival at Carnegie Hall)

“Lisovska embraced Cunegonde’s “Glitter and be gay” with panache, tongue-in-cheek self-pity in spoken segments, and wonderful incandescence in high-lying phrases. In this aria, she was truly “Queen of the top E-flats!” (Boston Musical Intelligencer about Olga Lisovska’s performance at Jordan Hall)
