Review:

“毫无疑问，两组阵容最出挑、最惊艳的当属意大利女高音歌唱家罗莎·费奥拉。无论身姿容颜，还是歌唱作戏，她塑造的阿米娜，绝对堪称一个完美形象，她就是那朵让男人、女人（除了情敌）都心生爱恋的“瑞士之花”，绚丽多彩令人神往。所有咏叹调、宣叙调和重唱，罗莎的演绎都无法挑剔无可指摘，大段抒情舒展飘逸。“梦游女”的呓语、呢喃，她的极弱声控制毫无瑕疵。罗莎不似纯色花腔女高音，「...」中低声区，要比一般花腔女高音在宽度、厚度上别具优势，磨坊“梦游”中最长一段咏叹调“我怎能相信鲜花会过早的凋零？”阿米娜的悲切哀恸与凄楚忧伤，更为丝丝入扣感人肺腑。歌声中蕴涵戏剧性的深度饱和与宽度开展，绝对超越大多数花腔女高音。”
