04/ critical acclaim

"Her soprano is bell-bright, with nothing forced even in the much-demanded high register. Even in the most violent coloratura passages, her singing retains a sense of playfulness and sensuality."

BR-KLASSIK
"In short: a triumph."

BR-KLASSIK
“Zara's seductive trills and tireless vocal acrobatics were dazzling. It was not Bacchus, the “newer God” to whom we ultimately surrender, but Zerbinetta herself...”

BACHTRACK
“She is a vocal powerhouse, giving Paul Clan's words the consistency Coates demands – sometimes in long, taut lines, sometimes as a viscous drop, yet striking and with pure beauty of sound.”

SÜDDEUTSCHE ZEITUNG
"Juliana Zara’s Soeur Constance: a presence at once incandescent and luminously sung."

SCENEBLOG
"Slender, fluid and with weightlessly dabbed top notes, she exuded that rare vocal mercury which the role absolutely needs."
