Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly, Palais de la Monnaie, Brussels, Belgium, January 2017

Et les voix ne sont pas en reste: la Cio-Cio-San d’Alexia Voulgaridou est absolument magistrale, à la fois puissante sans excès, émouvante avec justesse, jouant sans cesse sur plusieurs registres à la fois et extrêmement convaincante sur le plan dramatique, alors que la mise en scène la place sans cesse en dehors de l’action. Quel dommage de se priver de la contribution théâtrale d’une aussi...

Giacomo Puccini, Tosca, Seoul Arts Center, Korea, October 2016

Superbly cast as the two inseparable lovers Tosca and Cavaradossi, Voulgaridou and Giordano’s stage chemistry is as mesmerizing as the duo’s poignant vocals. From the passionate kissing scenes to the intimate serenades of their love and devotion to each other, Voulgaridou and Giordano are a match made in operatic heaven. In particular, the tenor’s transcendent rendition of “E lucevan le stelle”...

Giacomo Puccini, Tosca, San Diego Opera, U.S., February 2016

Greek soprano Alexia Voulgaridou makes a heartrending local debut as Floria Tosca, the Roman opera singer whose romantic jealousy has tragic consequences for all.

Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly, Bari, Italy, March 2015

[...] la bravissima cantante greca Alexia Voulgaridou, autrice di una prova davvero maiuscola nel ruolo eponimo.  Alessandro Romanelli, L'orecchio di dioniosio, March 12, 2015 [...] il superbo cast, con il Pinkerton da considerarsi addirittura perfetto, unitamente alla Butterfly di Alexia Voulgaridou, assai efficace anche nella interpretazione mimica, che ruba un applauso a scena...

Giacomo Puccini, Madama Butterfly, Sydney Opera House, Australia, January 2015

Singing with focused, yet well-rounded strength, Greek soprano Alexia Voulgaridou allowed the musical and dramatic persona of the title role to grow impressively, from frivolity and girlishness in the first act to compelling drama, strife and tragedy at the last two acts. She has highly developed control and polish, drawing the listener ever closer into the drama and musical line with unwavering...

Giacomo Puccini, La Bohème, San Francisco Opera, USA, November 2014

On opening night, Mimi was sung by Greek soprano Alexia Voulgaridou in her local debut. She too has sung in most of the top opera houses, and she made a fine debut here as Mimi. Her voice has a luscious quality that grows on you; and she is a fine actress, making you believe in her as the tubercular Mimi who finds true love with Rodolfo, then loses him, and finds him once again only to die in...
