"Completing the cast, the excellent Argentinian soprano Laura Pisani, whose work I discovered when she sung in 2018 at the Sala Cecília Meireles in Rio de Janeiro the opera Piedade by João Guilherme Ripper. With an impeccable technique, the soprano paraded with elegance and refinement through the arias of her character (Come scoglio immoto resta, from the first act, y Per pietà, ben mio, perdona, from the second act), as well as through the various ensemble numbers in which she participated. 

A resourceful artist, who knows how to be precise without relinquishing expressiveness, with resounding low sounds and well controlled high notes, Pisani made of her top level Fiordiligi the greatest glory of this Mozartian production."
