Dina Kuznetsova

"Russian-American soprano Dina Kuznetsova gave a grand and soulful performance of Rachmaninoff’s Six Romances. It was a glorious luxury to hear her in the intimacy of the Glenn Gould Studio." (Concertonet.com, April 2012)

"The Russian-American soprano Dina Kuznetsova captures all Rusalka’s burgeoning desire and tragic disappointment and, after a full-throttle Song to the Moon, sang with the golden tone the role requires." (The Daily Telegraph, July 2011)

"Dina Kuznetsova is glorious in the title role, unleashing torrents of sound and emotion in ways that are breathtaking." (The Guardian, July 2011)

"The evening is very well sung, with Dina Kuznetsova heartbreaking in the title role, Pavel Cernoch in ardently ringing voice as her turncoat prince, and powerful support from Mischa Schelomianski as her father and Larissa Diadkova as a witch." (Daily Mail, July 2011)

"Rusalka’s loving and desperate times are unerringly captured by Dina Kuznetsova. She is a marvellous actress and a fabulous singer. It is difficult to think of Rusalka, whether as sea nymph or as human – with her bitter experiences yet forgiving nature, and her ultimately being lost to two worlds – being better portrayed or better sung than by Kuznetsova." (www.classicalsource.com, July 2011)

"…Tatiana, the soprano Dina Kuznetsova, is physically more credible as a young girl than a princess, but what a seductive and arresting voice – warm and generous, with an easy top end that conceals a true lyric temperament’ (Le Figaro, January 2010)

“Soprano Dina Kuznetsova…is a brilliant Tatyana from her first entrance. She takes the famous Act 1 "Letter Scene" by the throat and as a singer and actress never lets it go physically, vocally or emotionally." (Chicago Sun, March 2008)

“...the Russian-born soprano [developed] a Tatyana of affecting vulnerability, poignancy and grace. The Ryan Center alumna gave the extended Letter Scene everything she had, refining the voice to a silvery sliver, soaring in rapturous song. It will be difficult to forget the exquisite diminuendo she sustained in the final scene.” (The Chicago Tribune, March 2008)

“The only pause for breath is Lauretta’s song, showcasing the lovely Dina Kuznetsova in an auspicious Royal Opera debut.” (Financial Times, April 2007)
