Reviews
LA ITALIANA EN ARGEL. GRANADA. 2019
"Unquestionable was the light with which the alto Karina Demuroba (sic) shone in the role of Isabella, the Italian who decides to travel to Algiers to find her beloved Lindoro; from her first appearance her voice stood out with the clarity and beauty of a privileged instrument, of great timbral richness and expressive power. Each of her appearances was of the highest quality, and was accompanied by a rapturous stage presence". Gonzalo Roldán (Granada Hoy)
