Emmanuelle Giuliani, La Croix

"À Strasbourg, le sacre de Saioa Hernandez... Voix impressionnante et présence impériale, la soprano espagnole triomphe dans le rôle redoutable de Francesca da Rimini, opéra de Riccardo Zandonai..."

David Karlin, Bachtrack

"She came, she saw, she conquered: Saioa Hernández wins La Scala hearts in a conservative Attila...this première will be best remembered for the house début of Saioa Hernández: rarely can there have been such an instant love affair between a soprano and this audience..."

Barney Zwartz, The Sidney Morning Herald

"...Soprano Saioa Hernandez soars in Victorian Opera's Norma. Hernandez was superb. She was by turns regal, wracked with doubts, resolute, vindictive and, finally, noble and heroic, all produced with great beauty of tone, almost immaculate security, and limitless power and authority..."
By Salva Muste
