Review 1:
Review of Andrew Porter in the New Yorker
In "Il Tabarro," "Suor Angelica" and "Gianni Schicchi" Renata Scotto undertook all three heroines; though their characters are very different, the combined vocal demands hardly exceed those of a Butterfly or a Manon Lescaut. Miss Scotto's Giorgetta and Angelica, both the first of her career, were assured interpretations but mannered in their execution, as her portrayals usually are. (She managed to hold the house silent and attentive, too much moved to crash in with applause, after Angelica's "Senza mamma.") Intended by nature to be a lyric soprano and a delicious little butterball, she has invented a grand manner of her own and built up her voice to match. One can regret it, for she has acquired force at the expense of sweetness, but at the same time must admire and enjoy her thorough command, vocal and dramatic, of the spinto roles she essays. Nevertheless, it was as young Lauretta and in an effortlessly seductive account of "O mio babbino caro" that she was most enchanting.
