CRITIC REVIEW:

“One of the most aristocratic figures ever to have graced the Italian lyric theatre was Adelaide Saraceni….She moved onstage with infinite allure…and she sang with the ease of a nightingale, and exquisite, almost transparent pearly notes. None of her recordings give an idea of the delicious color of her effortless voice nor the wonderful facility of her coloratura.”

- Lanfranco Rasponi, THE LAST PRIMA DONNAS, p.268
