‘Cecilia surprises the audience. The work of Licinio Refice (Patrica 1883–Rio de Janeiro 1954), represented in the national première at the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari, although far from the social and cultural models of our times for mystical content, has captivated those present, who appreciated its originality.’ – Medíterraneaonline.eu
‘The tragic, spiritual and expressive force of “Cecilia” enchants the audience of the Teatro Lirico… The cast is balanced and of high quality, Martina Serafin (Cecilia), Elena Schirru (L’Angelo di Dio), Antonello Palombi (Valeriano), all engaged in a work that is not easy to perform.’ – TG24.SKY.IT
‘Overall, the musical part is of a high level, starting with the portrait that the soprano Marta Mari paints of the protagonist: the dark and round voice, homogeneous in all registers…suits with refined sweetness to the writing of Refice. The phrasing is rich in nuances, always varied and sympathetic, without ever being affected and indeed intelligently conveys the variety of affections that animate Cecilia. At her side is Mickael Spadaccini's solid Valeriano, with a broad and stentorian instrument, while Leon Kim in the dual role of Tiburzio and Amachio stands out for the beauty of his voice and incisive phrasing. The blind woman of Giuseppina Piunti is valuable, as are all the other characters…’ – CONNESSIALLOPERA.IT
