"A pleasant surprise was the participation of mezzo Fotini Athanasaki (Neris): her very first phrase stood out with a pithy, well-rested and a warm voice. She performed the role meaningfully and with attention. We'd like to hear her in German and French operatic repertoire. Maybe someday she will become an excellent Charlotte (Jules Massenet, Werther). The large-scale timbre of her voice, combined with expressiveness, would fit perfectly the Lieder of Robert Schumann and, especially, Gustav Mahler, as in Mélodies of Claude Debussy and Henri Duparc. We will remember the name." [Critic's Point - July 2015]
