S.F. Opera review: ‘Partenope’ a fizzy, free-associative delight

  • Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

“As Rosmira, mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack delivered a superb follow-up to her star turn in last season’s ‘Barber of Seville,’ delivering athletic, perfectly tuned coloratura and letting the audience feel viscerally the depth of the character’s ardor and pain.”

Color, flamboyance abound in ‘Carmen’

  • D.S. Crafts, Albuquerque Journal

“Carmen’s Seguidilla in the first act has in recent times become the vehicle for the singer to convey a maximum of sensuality. Daniela Mack matches a bounty of rounded curves with her sultry mezzo voice, dark enough to be rebellious yet bright enough to keep the character constantly intriguing. One can easily believe her seducing Don Jose into abandoning all sense of duty. No one will be able to claim this isn’t the ‘real Carmen’ in either voice or appearance.”

‘The Barber of Seville’ review: doubly engaging

  • Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

Thursday’s cast also featured the terrific Rosina of mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack. Her appearance was not a company debut, but it might as well have been, given how thoroughly her artistry has blossomed since her days as an Adler Fellow. She sang with an irresistible combination of tonal luster and bravado, bringing energy and charm to her coloratura passages and delicate wit to her characterization.

Lyric Opera Baltimore presents lively concert of bel canto

  • Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun

Mezzo Daniela Mack and tenor Alek Shrader brought admirable technique and sparkling personality to scenes from Rossini’s La Cenerentola and (joined by Belcher) Barbiere. Mack’s solo turn, “Pensa alla patria” from L’italiana in Algeri, showcased the singer’s burnished tone, evenly produced from top to bottom.

La Cenerentola

  • Mark Thomas Ketterson, Opera News

Daniela Mack boasted a lyrically appropriate instrument for the title role, with a goodly bit of heft in mid-range and an incisive gleam above the staff. Mack made a dazzling thing of the final rondo.
