“Azucena was sung by Eugenie Grunewald, who delights in a solid technique and seamless mezzo with a brilliant extension. She is one of those rare performers who can reach off the stage a grab the listener by the throat.”
“Grunewald had what it took. Even shackled and thrown to her knees, her Azucena commanded the stage. And could she sing! The more Azucena was gripped by her mania for revenge, the more full-throated the sound Grunewald poured out. And the tender way she spun out her big tune in the last scene was every bit as gripping.”
“Mezzo Eugenie Grunewald made her every moment on stage riveting. She was vocally brilliant and dramatically sinister - a splendid Azucena in every way.”
“The Azucena of Eugenie Grunewald - a bright, big mezzo-soprano that rode the high climaxes with ease.”
