May 14th, 2024
After the premiere, last May 8, at the Teatro de la Zarzuela of the performances of La verbena de la Paloma, the press has echoed the great work done by the soprano Carmen Romeu.
In media such as El País, we can read that “her famous habanera ¿Dónde vas con mantón de Manila? benefited from the dark and dramatic tinge that soprano Carmen Romeu brings to the chulapa Susana”.
Highlighting the great work as a whole, Shangay affirms that “Carmen Romeu is a Susana of the highest level who not only charms Julián but also the audience, which has sold out all the seats”.
For its part, the magazine Ópera Actual highlights the vocal qualities of the soprano: “Carmen Romeu's Susana is excellent, who did not shrink from the flow of sound that was coming at her”.
In line with the other media, Codalario highlights that “Carmen Romeu's round and beautiful voice can be considered a luxury for the Susana, very well characterized by the Valencian soprano, who also showed off her acting skills in the clothes of the feminist suffragette in the prologue”.
And finally, the Cinemagavia media states that “Carmen Romeu and Ana San Martín form a perfect duo, both of them make a scenic work according to their characters, showing that viscerality in Romeu”.
