❝ Roberto Alagna triumphantly inaugurated the Sopot Classic Festival, his first solo recital in Poland. He aroused admiration in the operatic part of the concert: a unique ability to associate vocal virtuosity with musicality, to combine spontaneity, art of nuance with a perfect vocal technique. Then he revealed the universality of his singing abilities: an exceptional talent which is not limited to opera repertoire only❞ 
 
 
EXCERPT (translated from Polish): “ In the first part of the concert filled with famous arias from French and Italian operas, Alagna aroused admiration with a captivating theatralization of each of them. It was achieved through properly selected vocal means and masterful art of contrast and dosage, spread to a wide emotional arc, from maximal restraint to exuberance charged with passion. Alagna created his characters with a rarely met stage ease, interestingly manipulating the color of his lyrical voice, which was perfectly aligned in all its registers and well sustained, but not forced at any moment. The French artist has the unique ability to combine vocal virtuosity with musicality, the expression, which electrifies listeners, with an aristocratically elegant phrasing, the spontaneity of his performance with a perfect vocal technique, an easily achieved pitch at the top of the range and an exemplary diction.
 
Nevertheless, the recital in Sopot allowed the audience to discover yet another face of the singer's exceptional talent, which is not limited to opera repertoire only, but moves freely in grounds of other styles, which allows him to reach even wider range of listeners. This universality of Roberto Alagna’s singing abilities was fully revealed during the second part of the recital, filled with Neapolitan songs.(…) Then Alagna charmed the amused and spontaneously reacting audience with a warmer and brighter color of his naturally guided voice, as well as with the art of unpretending, but nevertheless anticipated seduction.
 
The enthusiasm of the visitors tightly filling the Opera Leśna / The Forest Opera reached its zenith during the performance of the song Libertà composed by David Alagna (Roberto’s brother), when the hero of the evening invited his wife, present in the audience, to sing this interesting composition together with him: Aleksandra Kurzak, whose voice seems to have gained even more power and deeper expression recently. The joy of "marital" music making emanating from their delightful interpretation gave an extremely pleasant touch to the evening and it was immediately felt by the audience, who gave to the visibly happy couple a standing ovation.
