Olga Peretyatko made her debut as Magda de Civry in a new production of Puccini’s La rondine at the Teatro Regio Torino
In the year of Giacomo Puccini's centenary, the Teatro Regio Torino presents a new production of La rondine, directed by Pierre-Emmanuel Rousseau, which takes the action back to 1973. The brilliant, ironic and frustrated music of this Puccini gem is entrusted to the skilful hands of maestro Francesco Lanzillotta, a renowned interpreter of 20th century repertoire.
Critics have praised the singer's work:
"Russian soprano Olga Peretyatko returns to the Regio stage after appearing in The Puritans in 2015; possessing good vocals and excellent stage presence, she delivered a well-rounded Magda (a vocally impenetrable role), convincing both vocally and as an actor". Il Corriere Musicale
"Magda di Olga Peretyatko elegantissima nel canto e nel gesto, musicale, ottimamente cantata e interpretata con grande intelligenza". GBOpera
"Splendida Magda interpretata da Olga Peretyatko". Cultura Italia
"Nel cast spicca Olga Peretyatko che si cala a pieno nei tormenti e nelle contraddizioni di Magda". avvenire.it
"Sa Magda prend progressivement de la consistance vocale et dramatique... Mais c'est au moment des doutes et de la rupture, à l'acte Ill, lorsqu'elle est seule avec Ruggero, qu'elle montre une superbe musicalité et atteint les sommets par sa capacité à endosser le personnage avec toute la profondeur et la mélancolie requise".

They are musical moments that are remembered. In recent years, Olga Peretyatko's agile soprano voice has gained in suppleness and lush depth, so that as Lieladie she can present the whole spectrum of emotions in modelled lines.
