    “Anticipated with much interest, Chiara Isotton’s debut in the part of Magdalene de Coigny turned out to be the real highlight of this performance. Possessing an imposing voice of equal beauty, homogeneity and confidence in all registers, the Venetian soprano asserted herself right from the first act, but of course the first trial by fire came in the second act with the great duet “Ora soave, sublime ora d’amore” where she flaunted absolute mastery in her daring attack of the opening phrase, but also made her mark with her clear and precise articulation of the text, and her ability to make the recitative and the spoken word natural (most remarkably the phrase at Magdalena’s arrival “ancor nessuno… ho paura.” “still no one… I am afraid.”) The performance of her great aria then makes it possible to make a definitive judgment: in “La mamma morta,” highly acclaimed by the audience, Isotton in fact proved herself to be a worthy heir to a long tradition of glorious Italian soprano voices that seemed now a thing of the past. And I am not referring only to the high notes, which are never forced, but also to the powerful and natural basses, never open, and the mezzevoci (perhaps still a bit to be perfected, as much as possible considering the importance of the voice). Last but not least), the singer did not need to insert an unscripted puntatura to finish the aria “beautifully” and garner applause. Crucial was her contribution also in the grand final duet, where she really shone by triggering an ovation, which continued with each appearance alone on the proscenium. I would not say that a star has been born, because Chiara Isotton has worked hard and spent perhaps too long rising through the ranks before arriving at such results, but surely this performance has consecrated an excellent singer and performer.”

    “The revelation of the evening was the graceful, seductive and tenderly passionate Maddalena of soprano Chiara Isotton, making her debut in the role. Endowed with a mellow, persuasive timbre, a voice equal in all registers– clearly of the Belcanto school of technique– and a delivery that is never forced and always ‘on the breath’, the soprano demonstrates that she has all the assets for a brilliant career!”

    “Chiara Isotton is the real revelation of this production. Making her debut as Maddalena di Coigny, Isotton possesses an incredibly consistent instrument throughout, always rounded and with seamless register transitions; there are numerous gems in the high register, where her technical control and wealth of harmonics allow her a soft and well-supported delivery. The soprano proved herself a master of the situation at every moment of the opera, right from the treacherous attack of “Ora soave, sublime ora d’amore”; she also made a fine display of diction that was nothing short of impeccable, phrasing with sharp, clean articulation. Wildly applauded in the beloved “La mamma morta,” Chiara Isotton has established herself as a performer of the highest order, and we look forward to hearing her again soon.”

    “With the performance we attended, Chiara Isotton made her debut in the role of Magdalene de Coigny. The soprano possesses a vocality rich in harmonics and with an exquisitely lyrical timbre. The centers sound mellow, the high notes secure and well projected, and the low notes natural. In general, she reveals a supple and well-supported line that allows her to tackle the writing with a certain ease. Vocally, the touching performance of the marvelous Act III aria “La mamma morta,” was a highlight, embellished by beautiful mezzevoci, but also worthy of mention is her luminous high register in the final duet with Chénier. It was also a well-executed performance in terms of interpretation, where Isotton manages to convey the evolution of the character, from the carefree attitude of Act I, to the inner strength and resolve of the
    subsequent acts and, in particular, the finale. A perfectly successful debut and largely rewarded by the audience’s applause at the end.”

    “Chiara Isotton made her debut as Maddalena di Coigny and received the loudest applause of the evening. This soprano, now launched towards a luminous and well-deserved international career, once again reaffirmed all the merits attributable to the most glorious Italian school of singing: a voice of beautiful texture, consistent throughout the range, with centers and basses of velvety splendor, radiant high notes, pianissimi perfectly resting on the breath, remarkable volume, intense emotional participation, vibrant and passionate phrasing. A captivating performance, culminating, in addition to the enthralling duets with Eyvazov, with a masterful performance of “La mamma morta” in which one did not know whether to admire more the beauty of the singing or the palpable authenticity of the artist.”

    “On the first time playing Maddalena in Isotton’s career: One says to oneself ‘what courage’ to debut such a role at La Scala with the tradition that work and character have there. The pity is that she has only been entrusted with two appearances. I sincerely hope that the era of ‘cover’, of a single performance (hopefully) among the last ones, and of only small roles, is over for her. Someone said, I think rightly, that it’s reminiscent of what happened at the time with Giulietta Simionato. I hope and wish that [Isotton] has the same reward and satisfaction, although I think that due to such an unpleasant but real issue as age, I will not be the one to see it. If she was nervous, it did not show; she moved with confidence (of course, she had done a good part of the rehearsals), she had no hesitation, the text was clear and very naturally spoken.” But not only for that did she make us think of the great Italian voices of the past. She knows how to speak (the entrance in the second act may seem banal, but it depends on how it is said, and I will remember this ‘ancor nessuno…ho paura’), she knows how to sing, she has a very good technique (if the fullness of her ability allows it, perhaps she can lengthen and collect her voice more in the ‘piano’ notes – but did anyone ask that of Cigna or Caniglia? Tebaldi or Netrebko do not usually abound), and there is no difference in flow (very important) in bass, center and treble. She is capable of attacking the second act duet without any problem or singing the finale without splitting her lungs while the sound envelops you. And, of course, the famous ‘La mamma morta’. Superb. With just the right emotion, without any exaggeration (neither the censurable ‘punctuation’ at the end that destroys the dramatic effect and that some more or less famous colleague uses to cover up other shortcomings) and a crescendo administered to perfection. She got a standing ovation after the aria and at the end of the show. And (this matters less, but not for me) it justified my trip.”

    “…The very young Chiara Isotton in the first act restores freshness to the character of Magdalena di Coigny, delving into the more dramatic pages with a tenuous romanticism without ever exaggerating in inappropriate outbursts. Hers is an elegant, important, turned, well-measured singing line and rightly cautious, in that this writing for a young soprano can be extreme and wearisome in the long run.”

    “Similarly, Chiara Isotton succeeds in giving Leonora all the delicacy and lacerating vocation for love that characterize her; the Trevisan soprano’s voice is well known to us by now, but here she surprises with her extraordinary control of the singing line, which bends softly on mezzevoci and then reasserts itself forcefully in solid, soaring high notes.”

    “In crescendo the performance of Chiara Isotton, a Leonora with a precious timbre and a remarkable range of nuances, precise in the articulation of words, compact in the singing line, of intense expressiveness in the accent.

    “At her side Chiara Isotton impersonates a young and fresh Leonora, palpitating but at the same time noble in phrasing and bearing so much so that she seems to have stepped out of a medieval fresco. Her soft and pliant voice was able to go along with the not so simple writing of Verdi’s heroine giving a capital proof in the tower scene with yarns and expressive research of great interpretive maturity.”

    “What to write about Chiara Isotton’s Leonora? That Verdi (and much else, I would say) is sung like this. A splendid rehearsal for vocal splendor, interpretive involvement, homogeneity among the various registers (as resplendent in the high notes as she is turned in the middle and velvety shadowy in the low notes) Chiara Isotton does not miss a beat, whether it is in stretching her singing in the lyrical pages – what a marvel of ecstatic transfixion and purest sound her “D’amor sull’ali rosee” – or in conquering the role’s fearsome coloraturas, shelled out to perfection, including the perilous descending agilities of “Tu vedrai che amore in terra,” performed twice. Bravissima, ché brava would be little.”

    “The young soprano Chiara Isotton completed her training at the Accademia di Canto del Teatro alla Scala: I must emphasize that this institution forged another beautiful voice. She is a passionate, desperate Leonora, as young as the character is in age, but vocally and scenically mature. Much appreciated in her arias, engaging in the duets, vocally and scenically suited to the role.”

    Il trillo Parlante • (by Mattia Marino Merlo)
    “Exceptional, without exaggeration, Chiara Isotton’s Leonora: the very young soprano has
    sketched with refined elegance the melancholy and suffering profile of a woman, prey to men and fate, who would like to live her love with sweetness, but who is confronted with atrocious choices and is forced to struggle, even with death, to stand up for herself. There is little to add, except that this is the Leonora one would like to see and hear more often in the theater. The timbre is velvety, enveloping and full-bodied, overflowing with harmonics and precise in bringing out the character’s typical features, especially in the middle register and in the pianissimi, which are very fine and perfect. Remarkable is also the flair with which she tackles the cabalettas, resolved without forcing and with the grace of bel canto, with high notes that can certainly be perfected, but are already solid and well projected; however, it is in “D’amor sull’ali rosee” and in the Miserere that she captivates us, moving us to emotion both for the beauty of her voice and delivery, and for the dramatic nature of her phrasing, exuding suffering and participation. Success well deserved and destined to endure.”

    “Lively success at Milan’s Teatro alla Scala for the two leads in Umberto Giordano’s Fedora, in the new production designed by Mario Martone. Soprano Chiara Isotton, called to replace the indisposed Sonya Yoncheva, and tenor Fabio Sartori, already on the bill after the first performances entrusted to Roberto Alagna, were applauded at length by the audience. And with good reason. Chiara Isotton presents a portrait of the protagonist all set on singing, without ever lapsing into the temptation of gratuitous effect, always around the corner when it comes to titles like this, ascribed to the verismo aesthetic. This is the case, for example, in the poignant finale, where certain unpleasant expressions bordering on the spoken word are not heard. Isotton works hard on the accent, finding the right measure to convincingly render the portrait of a protagonist who is both a woman of power and a woman in love. She does all this with an important lyric soprano voice, broad and full, with beautiful color, well projected and supported by remarkable musicality”

    “…Chiara Isotton, cover for all performances and called on stage due to an indisposition of Sonya Yoncheva. She was a wonderful surprise, or, for those who already know the soprano, a confirmation of her great qualities. I will not return to sides of the production already examined in my previous critique, but I will begin by saying that, at last, I heard Fedora being sung and phrased properly by the leading lady. Chiara Isotton possesses a voice of beautiful grain, homogeneous in all registers, rich in harmonics and ample in volume. Both the rapacious ascents in the high notes, and the pianos or lunges in the low notes (real, not invented, and never loaded or, worse, in search of affectation) are governed by an iron-clad technique. She phrases, accents, expresses, colors the phrase with intention and palpitating eloquence and incisiveness. The stage presence is authoritative and calamitous (too bad about the costumes in this production, so poorly designed and penalizing), the performer is passionate and engaging; “O grandi occhi lucenti,” “Dio di giustizia,” “Tutto tramonto, tutto dilegua” were textbook sung, with the opera’s finale all floating on the breath and on the edge of emotion for the listener. The great duet-confrontation with Loris, then, in the second act, of overwhelming vocal and theatrical impact, was one of the summits reached by Chiara Isotton during this performance.”

    “Very sweet, almost fragile, but steely in the moment of action is Chiara Isotton’s Leonora, a soprano with a lush, colorful and copious voice in the lower middle register, almost mezzo-soprano-like, and pearly in the high notes. The Venetian singer, thanks also to a beautiful elegant figure and an angelic and luminous face, sketched a lively and important character, supported also by a skillful musicality and technique.”

    “It was a masterstroke by the Artistic Director to entrust Elisabetta to the Venetian soprano Chiara Isotton! Already a frequent visitor to the great international stages, but still to this day in minor roles— we recall her “lady” alongside Anna Netrebko in the opening Macbeth of this season at La Scala— Chiara Isotton’s forward soprano with all its attributes, particularly wide and equal range from the low register to stratospheric, angelic high notes, is simply the authentic sound required for the role (making me think irresistibly of Margaret Price, heard in the same role).  Isotton’s is a sovereign technique that allows her suspended moments in “Non piar mia compagna” but also in the concertato then, finally, in an anthology “Tu, che le vanità”. The emotion felt, palpable in the room but also on the face of the diaphanous beauty of this exceptional performer, will not cease to haunt us, several hours after the end of the show.”.

    “Soprano Chiara Isotton blends with the nobly tormented stature of the role of Elisabetta. His instrument, large, plastic, ductile, stretches or folds, thanks to the virtuosic motifs that the score reserves for it. His way of entering the orchestral sound, or that of his companions, especially in duets, is always fair and controlled. It grabs the listener by a trembling vocal thread that projects and declaims like a tragedy, mobilizing all the resources of an instrument capable of bringing out large amplifications. His held pianissimi, as if breathless, only become more suggestive and reveal sound zones with the powdery timbre of a white lily, especially on the name of Carlo.”

    “Apart from one role (that of Philip II), the cast has been completely renewed by Maurice Xiberras, in which the Italian soprano Chiara Isotton, in the role of Elizabeth, is a real revelation. She portrays the queen in an extremely moving way; her slightest accent is touching, and we believe in her character from beginning to end. Because [Isotton] has a radiant and admirably guided voice, which gratifies us with some memorable high notes, or some particularly resonant lows, with the same naturalness and ease”.

    “Elizabeth is not such an easy role to assign. Elisabetta’s voice is almost that of a falcon, a type of soprano with less stalwart highs but an impressive low range. In opera, maturity in the voice is often characterized by ranges, and thus registers, that are more unusual in the bass. Let us remember that like Violetta’s health in La Traviata it requires a deeper voice, for this at the end of her role in her aria from “tu che le vanità” CHIARA ISOTTON’s Elisabetta courageously faces the blows of her fate with breathtaking breath and offers us a moving Elisabetta, especially in the medium and low register of her voice. Prior to the ardent and nuanced duet with Don Carlo “addio per semper”, her aria is of rare significance for its emotional intensity, and a perfect mastery of the score with the beauty of its high notes.
    Don Carlo da Marseille therefore found the right voice and charisma for this complex role to perform, with the extraordinary soprano Chiara ISOTTON debuting the role better than perfect, as the ideal embodiment of the role. This artist with a full voice, iron technique, ceaseless, sure and reassuring breathing (nothing worse as a listener than breathing with the singer…), knows how to provide what is needed in terms of forte, piani, pianissimi, mesa di voce, fine sounds, with a homogeneous sound and vocal range from extreme bass to full treble, that the job requires.All this, with a sustained legato that supports a sincere and well-acted intention of all the emotional and psychological angles of the role, which alternates haughty and meditative nobility, from her rank as queen to the melancholic and nostalgic fragility of the meanderings of life, and the love of the woman that she is.
    The artist who manages to make us feel like we understand the woman behind the queen has won her bet; the audience bursts into applause at the end of her arias and ensembles.”

    “A beautiful, dignified queen worthy of her rank, Chiara Isotton is right at home in this role which she performs for the first time; a fleshy voice, without heaviness, without darkness in the bass, silky, luminous and full timbre in the high pitches, it rises and falls with ease. She is a sensitive and credible Elisabeth of Valois, torn between love and duty, but rigorously faithful to her rank, her honour, her appearance and sovereign figure, with a touching naturalness in all her gestures and expressions. Overwhelming in her blues, farewells wet with tears to her companion, the Countess of Aremberg sent back to France by the ruthless Philip for the crime of having for a moment distanced himself from the inflexible label of having left the Queen of Spain alone for a moment. Her last aria, terrible in length and leaps, is masterfully sung; it sounds like a tragic baroque vanity softened by human pain and tears, from forte to touching pianissimi.”

    “Risk taking is characteristic of a programmer who has to prepare his distributions two, even three or four years, before the works are done. For this “Don Carlo”, Maurice Xiberras, director of the Marseille opera, showed audacity by proposing to two young artists to play some of the most exposed roles in the opera. Thus the soprano Chiara Isotton became Elisabetta, for the first time in her career, while baritone Jérôme Bouteiller does the same in the role of Rodrigo di Posa. On premiere night, we have to admit the choices were wise. Chiara Isotton embodies her character with an assertive presence, giving the queen her dual personality as a young woman in love, delicate and fragile, but also as a lucid and realistic statesman. The voice is beautiful, full and confident, not without delicacy or projection. An interesting performance.”

    “Faced with an Eboli like this, a great Elisabetta was needed. Maurice Xiberras found it, or rather he intuited it when Chiara Isotton made her debut in the role. What can we say except that it has never ceased to amaze us? An extended, full, homogeneous voice, capable of bursts or pianissimi, radiant trebles, a meaty mezzo, sonorous basses, and above all an admirable way of using this instrument. The technique is there, but also the sensitivity, which, for example, makes the queen’s farewell to her servant a moment in which time has stopped. And this same sensitivity allows the artist to embody the character giving the impression of a moving sincerity: melancholy, troubled, reticent, indignant, determined,
    this Elizabeth retains the nobility of pure hearts to the end. Admirable.”

    “Dialogic cues, more than an interesting development, within a plain and tidy performance in which the protagonist stands out. After playing the part of Suor Angelica at the opening, Chiara Isotton comes back unexpectedly offering us the most interesting moments of the night. The young soprano has already succeeded in drawing the attention to herself: even as the Lady-in-waiting of Lady Macbeth on the 7th December, she did not go unnoticed, flashing among the concerted pieces. In the insidious role of Puccini’s nun she reasserts her excellent voice management, the copiousness of means and her ability to modulate them in all their texture. The interpretation is very accurate, between strength and tenderness, and for sure it will grow up with experience, especially in the finale, where the context does not press nor help, both for the alternative ambitions not fully settled by the direction, both for a certain uniformity in the orchestral arrangement.”

In the famous “Senza mamma”, Isotton was able to express the complex plot that gives life to the piece, from the plain harmonic modality, passing through the central ecstatic vision and the imaginary dialogue with her son, in order to conclude with the most delicate filato; her bursting strength in the dramatic force of that moment was extremely engaging.”

It is only after the dialogue with this one that the singer reveals herself to be more human and fragile, with a circumspect and cautious “Senza mamma”, to exhibit than again her impressive vocal instrument in “La grazia è discesa dal cielo” and in the long final scene.” “Polite and applauding audience, that rushed in warm greetings towards Isotton at the end of the opera.”

    “Chiara Isotton is a decisive contribution to this musical rendering, having already interpreted Tosca several times, she tackles the role with a disarming ease: her lyrical timbre with velvety nuances, her fluid, consistent singing that exalts the richness of the phrasing, and her remarkable stage presence all speak clearly to Isotton’s talent, and to her choice to sing alongside Salsi and Meli.”

    I teatri dell’Est(written by Andrea Merli)
    “My curiosity ever since I saw a selection of Il Trovatore about five years ago organized by Gianmaria Aliverta at the Teatro Rosetum in Milan as a tribute to the legendary Angelo Loforese, was to finally hear Chiara Isotton in the role of the protagonist after having appreciated her singing many times in supporting roles at Teatro alla Scala. Well, she has exceeded my rosiest and most tender expectations with generous singing, always controlled but without compromising on the ‘spoken’ lines, even in points where we’d have accepted it: ‘Quanto? Il prezzo!’ and ‘voglio vederlo’ and so on. With a smooth voice, full, round and of a purely lyrical color, with good projection even in lower ranges, she perfectly supports each note acutely and with confidence, in beautiful and bright high notes. But where she truly seduced the audience was in the aria, which often can be a snare for singers, either for their fame or for the tendency toward exaggeration. Here it was like a prayer, with a wise and fascinating use of the mezza voce and a highly emotional piano and pianissimo singing. It was a grand and personal satisfaction to confirm the merits of this woman of great character trained in the Italian opera school tradition and from whom it is worth waiting for many other beautiful performances in the future.”

    “As we mentioned above, the cast was anchored by three performers of international acclaim. The role of the protagonist was entrusted to Chiara Isotton who gave life to a pained and submissive Tosca, but one who is capable of moments of fury that deeply touched the viewer. Vocally, her performance was excellent, with precise and piercing high notes, as well as well-marked midrange and bass timbre. Her rendition of ‘Vissi d’arte’ was very touching, rewarded by the abundant applause of the public.”

    “Chiara Isotton’s performance of Tosca is imbued with great character. The soprano has a full-bodied tone rich in harmonics supported by excellent technique that allows her to enrich all the personality facets of her role. Particularly notable, in the second act, after the robust and determined confrontation with Scarpia, the sorrowful aria ‘Vissi d’arte’ is a moment of extreme and private solitude, sung softly, with an introspective mood that increases in intensity in a peremptory plea to God which flows, fading seamlessly into the successive lament.”

    “Chiara Isotton confronts Tosca with fiery personality: her pugnacious, unrestrained singing follows the image of a prima donna who does not allow herself to be corroded by hypocritical remorse, who does not hesitate to direct her feral hand towards Vitellius’ empty chest. Isotton breaks down the difficult writing with ease: her voice has a beautiful color even when reciting context, it is rather homogeneous, with solid and controlled delivery which even in descent toward lower ranges is textured and developed, its High C like a thunderbolt, while showing off beautiful, perfectly supported soft volumes that enrich a decidedly strong-willed phrasing. True that compared to some renditions of ‘Vissi d’arte’ she may have shown a few moments of shortness of breath that inevitably are reflected in a more fragmented, restless melodic arc, but it is also true that the long-awaited aria comes after a vocally grueling scene and it is often difficult to find the right level of relaxation to sing this cinematic close-up on the protagonist as if nothing has just happened.”

From the very first act, Isotton shows off a booming voice, while soft where it needs to be, yet never compromising diction, powerful in the center range and soaring in the high notes.”

    “Chiara Isotton, the least experienced of the three, was a real revelation, inspired and drawn in by her magnificent colleagues. In fact, the soprano from Belluno has an attractive figure and a careful and calibrated stage presence that allows her to embody Tosca with credibility. She has refined a beautiful voice, homogeneous, with good projection and supported in the treble range. She does not lack neither phrasing ability nor the air of a prima donna. Some slight roughness in her is easily forgiven, probably due to her lack of years on stage.”

Polished and exemplary in the medium-low register, stellar and sure in the high notes (her High C is memorable) and very musical. Only a little bit of moxy is missing in the furious and impulsive scenes sung by the role as well as injecting some personality in the recited phrases such as ‘E avanti a lui tremava tutta Roma!’ (‘And all Rome trembled ahead of him’) to make the young soprano from Veneto’s interpretation of Tosca the performance against which to measure all others.”

    “We discover a voice with great promise. It was intriguing to see soprano Chiara Isotton from Belluno who, six years ago and fresh from winning the ‘Belli competition’ (Competition for Young Opera Singers by the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale di Spoleto), made her debut at the Teatro Caio Melisso in the role of Floria Tosca. Born in 1985, she’s not exactly young but rather at the age when a woman’s personality and voice are considered mature. And, in fact, they are. She has a spirited temperament, fiery sensuality and explosive stage presence: supported by eloquent gestures, impassioned gazes and undeniable magnetism. Her voice is tonally voluptuous, in a wide and colorful range capable of handling the challenging script without too many problems. Therefore, it’s strange her name is not more widely known in our theaters.”

    “With the cancellation of Tatiana Lisnic’s appearance due to a sudden viral infection, we had the opportunity to discover the talent of Chiara Isotton, who has a forceful lyrical-spinto soprano voice capable of shining with its own light alongside a brilliant Kunde. This was demonstrated by her confidence in her first performance ‘In quelle trine morbide’ and her professionalism singing Pagliacci’s ‘Qual fiamma avea nel guardo… Stridono lassù,’ with sheet music in hand because of the last minute substitution that crowned her in the role, performing a harrowing song with an acute outcry that flooded the stands with emotion. Not to mention her brilliant version of ‘Vissi d’arte’ which demonstrated how well the role of Floria Tosca seems to fit her current vocal ability. In fact, she will interpret the part at La Fenice Opera House in August of next year. In the end, it was a great choice to suddenly rely on Isotton to take the lead in this concert that, had it not benefitted from the partnership and talent of the Italian singer, we would have been deprived of moments like the duo ‘Già nella notte densa,’ which reflected a masterful blend between the voices of both protagonists preceded by an inspired performance by Gabriel Ureña as First Cello of the Oviedo Filarmonía Orchestra.”

From Cavaradossi’s ‘Recondita armonia’ to Tosca’s ‘Vissi d’arte’ to the sensational conclusion ‘E lucevan le stelle,’ a series of unexpected thrills stir and move the audience with the singing talents of Paolo Lardizzone and Chiara Isotton. The latter, in ‘Vissi d’Arte’ and in the tragic recitation of the climax leading to the death of Scarpia (the talented Valdis Jansons, baritone), is chilling, not only for experts, but for the public with its varied makeup (consisting of many young people also present at Teatro Morlacchi in Perugia where we saw Jansons on October 1st), confirming the absolute excellence of the performance.”
