“Francine Vis must be mentioned especially in the title role (Cenerentola) for her poetic, sparkling interpretation of this angel of innocence with a moral backbone. All the difficult vocal passages with the impossible embellishments ring beautifully.”
In the role of the self acclaimed oracle Madame Flora is Francine Vis whose potent mezzo voice fits the powerful character well. In spite of her elegant and refined silhouette this is a brutal and ruthless woman who keeps her daughter Monica and fosterson Toby in an iron grip.
Francine Vis interpretation is that of a contradictory and affecting character. Not just a monster but a human being torn by alcohol and bitterness.
