Critical Acclaim
It is a quest and revelation that Martina Zadro interprets with her distinctive and dynamic soprano. She wonderfully conveys Clara Schumann’s poetic sense into an inward intensity with a sonorous voice, powerful heights and warm timbre.

Great contribution of Martina Zadro as Antonia, who was able to capture the torment with her singing, sober acting and exquisite phrasing.

Martina Zadro has a remarkable musical presence and creative urge while expanding Antonia from innocence to greater drama so it seems her voice is now somewhat beyond lyrical.

Martina Zadro stood out, filling quite a static scene of Antonia with extreme expressiveness: her performance of the dove’s aria was an artistic peak of the entire performance.

Martina Zadro is formidable… her sense of nuances in playing is visible both in her acting as well as in the abundancy of her voice, with radiant heights and a beautiful unity of registers.

Martina Zadro is simply phenomenal, her singing – when exalted or desperate – is always correct, and her commitment is totally upsetting.

She surpasses the orchestra in the most tense climax but also knows how to exploit pianissimi in nuances of the most beautiful effect.

Zadro has a crystal clear voice and fascinates us with her wonderful pianos.
Oskar Tonkli, Wiener Zeitung, 15. 4. 2006
What Martina Zadro has shown can be achieved on stage only by the most complete artist.
Bogdan Učakar, Večer, 18. 1. 2005
Here is a singer whom we cannot admire enough.
Bogdan Učakar, Večer, 26. 10. 2005
Martina Zadro is the “secret queen” of the evening.
Oskar Tonkli, Wiener Zeitung, 15. 1. 2005
The Croatian soprano Martina Zadro is not (yet!) Callas, Caballé or Bartoli, but her Fiorilla was the best part in the whole performance.
Vladimir Frantar, Opera magazine – London; February 2006
The star of the evening was the soprano Martina Zadro. The artist combined the highest vocal and acting qualities.
Višnja Požgaj, Vjesnik, 25. 1. 2005
Her refined soprano has a crystal clear expression in every register.
Oskar Tonkli, Wiener Zeitung, 25. 10. 2005
The soprano Martina Zadro with her beautiful voice and fine vocal technique was surely the most convincing singer.
Pavel Mihelčič, Delo, 24. 10. 2005
Her performance is characterised by a fantastic, mentally alert interpretation.
