Review by Bruna Guerreiro

Opera enthusiasts and classical music aficionados alike will find themselves entranced by Bela Rudenko's latest album, Арии Из Опер (Opera Arias and Scenes). The Ukrainian mezzo-soprano delivers a stunning performance, showcasing her incredible vocal range and emotional depth.

The album features a diverse selection of arias and scenes from well-known operas such as Carmen, La Cenerentola, and Il Trovatore, as well as lesser-known works such as The Queen of Spades and Prince Igor. Rudenko's interpretations of each piece are masterful, capturing the essence of the characters and the emotions they convey.

One standout performance is Rudenko's rendition of "Habanera" from Carmen. Her sultry and seductive delivery perfectly captures the essence of the iconic character, making for a truly captivating performance. Additionally, her performance of "Una Voce Poco Fa" from The Barber of Seville showcases her impressive coloratura skills and playful interpretation of the character of Rosina.
