Reviews:
"First-class contributions from Rosa Feola (Servilia) [...]"
Rupert Christiansen, "The Telegraph"
"And just as you thought you'd seen the best of the vocal soloists, up popped Rosa Feola's Servilia; her short but impassioned Act Two aria had the audience swooning."
Igor Toronyilalic, "The Arts Desk"
"Rosa Feola was an entirely admirable Servilia, giving a performance that combined charm with a certain interesting dramatic edge. She left you wishing that Mozart had written more for this character."
Robert Hugill, "Opera Today"
"The two lovers Servillia and Annio, sung respectively by Rosa Feola and Christina Daletska, were vocally very impressive. [...] Servillia’s aria, ‘S’ altro che lacrime per lui non tenti’ in which she questions the sincerity of Servilia’s tears, the music reflecting a kind of calm but sustained anger, was again given vocal sensitivity and spontaneity by Rosa Feola."
Geoff Diggines, "Seen and Heard International"
"Rosa Feola was a sweet-voiced Servilia"
Sam Smith, "musicOMH"
"Il giovane soprano Rosa Feola (Servilia) ha cantato Mozart con grande naturalezza, il giusto colore, freschezza e spontaneità. Il suo duetto con con Annio, “Ah perdona al primo affetto” è stato un modello di fraseggio elegante e canto legato."
Jeffrey Grice, "GBOPERA"
"On parierait presque, à entendre la Servilia si présente, si mûre, si mozartienne de Rosa Feola, qu’elle pourrait, un jour, devenir Vitellia [...]"
Didier van Moere, "ConcertoNet.com"
