Nina Lorcini debuted with Opera of the Hamptons as Amneris, and thrilled the audience with her velvety strong yet very supple voice and acting that really made us believe. This should be one of her key roles in her future career.

Roy Bradbrook (Dan’s Papers)

The true heroine of this Norma was the Italian Canadian mezzo soprano. Nina Lorcini (her legato was beautiful and her coloratura natural and warm) was, in fact, the ultimate heroine, literally leaving the rest of the cast behind her...la Lorcini, in fact, had no hesitations, and was always in control of situations and emotions.

La vera protagonista di questa <<Norma>> è stata il mezzo soprano italocanadese. Nina Lorcini (bello il suo legato e dalla coloratura naturale e calda) è stata infatti protagonista assoluta, trascinandosi letteralmente dietro il resto del cast...la Lorcini non ha avuto infatti alcuna esitazione, ed è stata sempre “in control” di situationi ed emozioni.

Franco Borelli (America Oggi)

Mezzo soprano Nina Lorcini brought expressivity to her singing...her fioratura was well-controlled and her feel for the part evident.

Paul M. Somers (Classical New Jersey)

An evenly polished voice...'O rimembranza' was the production's vocal highlight.

Frederick Kaimann (The New Jersey Star-Ledger)

Nina Lorcini is something. She has everything. A creamy, large voice that, despite its richness, can nevertheless project right through massed orchestral sawings and trumpetings to great effect...Sure, she’s a bit young for the role of the vengeful old gypsy Azucena. She’s too gorgeous-looking and the voice is too lush, but Lorcini isn’t content with merely getting up and singing an aria, she throws herself into the role with complete abandon and was utterly convincing. In ten years, she’ll own Azucena. Far more "her" role is Carmen, another gypsy, but this one a smouldering femme fatale at the prime of her flirtatious life. Lorcini was superb, with a hip-swinging Seguidilla and a teasing Habanera that fit like a pair of gloves. She ended with the Danse Bohème and the crowd at her feet.

Hugh Fraser (Hamilton Spectator)

It would have been worth encountering this production if only to hear Nina Lorcini.

William Littler (Toronto Star)

Nina Lorcini is the fortunate possessor of a wonderful strong, well-balanced mezzo-soprano voice.
