" Ms Giglio sang with beauty and eloquence." Live music with the Sarasota Ballet @ Joyce Theatre NYC
The Observer (Dvorak's "Te Deum")
“…but the real star of the show was soprano Michelle Giglio, whose voice seems to grow richer, larger and more beautiful with every hearing…. Hers is a very special gift. She needs only to open her mouth and sing. Batteries needn’t be included.”
The Observer (Dvorak’s Te Deum)
The Observer (Mozart: "Grand Mass in C Minor")
“Giglio sang with great poise and professionalism managing to overcome the extreme difficulties of what Mozart offered her: leaps from low A’s to high C’s, great stretches of notes without a place to breath and florid passages that would make a canary blanch.”
Mozart's "Grand Mass in C minor"- Gloria Musicae 30th year celebration with the Sarasota Orchestra at the Sarasota Opera House)
"…the Kyrie opened with the glorious voice of Michelle Giglio.. the Et incarnatus est expressive solo for soprano is what we always sigh for- an elegantly lofted voice, with Giglio doing the honors surrounded by a trio... it was close to magic."
“Michelle Giglio negotiated the lyrical lines with grace with her rich dramatic voice.”
“Giglio’s voice wove deftly with the winds in the orchestra.”
Sarasota Herald Tribune ("Carmina Burana" Performance with Sarasota Ballet)
“It was tempting to simply sit back with eyes closed and soak up the beautiful sounds of soloist Michelle Giglio.”
Richard Einhorn's "Voices of Light" with Key Chorale and Sarasota Orchestra
"But in a transcendant moment soprano, Michelle Giglio, was given the juciest quote from St. Hildegarde.. as Joan recounted her forced confession, thus condemming herslf to death.... there was a sense among those present at this Premier live performance in Sarasota that they had experienced something rare and very special"
Sarasota Herald Tribune (Carmina Burana Performance with Sarasota Ballet)
“Michelle Giglio’s crystal clear sustained notes enriched the court of love.”
“…some of the most virile singing underscored the activity on stage as Michelle Giglio sang ‘ I am suspended between love and chastity’ ”
“Top notch soloist (Ms. Giglio) was accurate in her attacks in the interpretation of the Latin and middle high German lyrics.”
Venice Gondolier Sun (Carmina Burana performance with Sarasota Ballet)
“Ms. Giglio’s beautifully clear soprano was thrilling as it soared…”
