reviews
“ Owner of a dark timbre, enormous volume, constantly boiling, the soprano ended up being buried with applause.”
Márvio dos Anjos - O Globo
"The soprano Tatiana Carlos, for her part, was a good Elisabetta, austere and willful, intense voice and great volume…”
Sabino Lenoci - L’Opera Magazine, Italy
"...She was born a dramatic soprano. The young woman is one of the most promising artists of today. She opened the concert with Pace, mio Dio!, from the opera Forza del destino by Verdi, winning over the audience with her first note. She reached the peak with a high B flat perfectly produced in piano on the phrase "invan la pace". She has the voice to step on any operatic stage in the world. The ultimate technique, never pushed. A voice of great volume, that fills the hall effortlessly. The tone is beautiful, dark, ample, full bodied and round. It is a voice that needs a big space to be fully appreciated. One needs to hear her in a big theater. A real rarity!"

"...She displayed a lyric-dramatic register surprising for her age, when she braved the aria Pace, pace, mio Dio, from the opera Forza del Destino. Possessing a beautiful dark timbre, and showing that she is going in a safe and correct technical direction, the artist wowed the audience, displaying in addition excellent projection and richness of phrasing."
