Opera ClickSoprano drammatico d’agilità come già Abigaille nel Nabucco, Odabella alterna momenti di alta drammaticità ad altri di più squisito lirismo. Un ruolo impervio che la possente voce del soprano californiano Leah Crocetto ha risolto con sicurezza nello svettante registro acuto, e ancor meglio nell’intensa carica espressiva con cui ha sapientemente cesellato “Oh! Nel fuggente nuvolo” e il duetto con Foresto, il suo appassionato ma debole amante.
