” Dimitra Kotidou displayed impressive coloratura as the Queen of the Night. “
Daniel Meyer-Dinkgräfe, Seen and Heard International
„ In the role of Adele, lyric coloratura soprano Dimitra Kotidou absolutely „steals“ the show! “
Nikos Xenios, Bookpress.gr
” Dimitra Kotidou, blessed with an incredibly resonant voice, displayed the full breadth of her astonishing versatility — seamlessly transitioning from a radiant, soaring operatic timbre to a soulful, grounded folk tone, each delivered with equal artistic brilliance. “
Dr. Carolin Herrmann, Coburger Tageblatt
” Dimitra Kotidou’s Gilda is a genuinely true discovery. (…) Who, after hearing the stratospheric, effortless and so nuanced ‘floated’ pianissimi of the young coloratura in her grand air “Caro nome”, would retain any doubt? And also this natural simplicity in the vocalizations… Purity of the role, purity of the singing. (…) In the closing scene of the opera, Ms. Kotidou’s ultimate angelic accents, supported by the ethereal high pianissimi of the violins, are enough though to send us all to heaven. “
Jean Y. Gouzi
” The impressive confirmation of her high art of singing culminated in the third act in the “madness aria” and the moving part, which is accompanied by the glass harp. What security in the risky leaps, what beautiful pianissimi, what power in the top notes! “
Martin Köhl, Art5drei Magazine
” Dimitra Kotidou designed it [the madness aria] with flawless voice leading as a scene whose external virtuosity is not an end in itself but a means of expression. Dimitra Kotidou’s embodiment of Lucia makes a decisive contribution to making this evening of the premiere an event. “
Jochen Berger, Coburger Tageblatt
” Dimitra Kotidou is an impressive Konstanze in Mozart’s opera “Die Entführung aus dem Serail”, singing with dynamic and expressive accuracy.”
Christoph Guddorf, Neue Westfälische
” The big revelation of the evening is Dimitra Kotidou, who sings the three arias of Konstanze with a crystal soprano beam, with the lyricism of
mourning and the drama of rebellion and at the same time she possesses a remarkable coloratura agility. “
Uta Jostwerner, Westfalen Blatt
” Wow, what a vocal color palette she lights up: the way the singer with her spiccato-like chanting creates a recitative of shining pearls and immediately afterwards she fills the atmosphere with virtuosic melismas in a lustful belcanto like cotton balls floating in the air, that is magic. “
