Aida, Amneris
Adria Firestone made a glamorous, vocally opulent Amneris, whose performance peaked in a tour-de-force judgment scene.

Cavalleria Rusticana, Santuzza
Most extraordinary was the fiery Santuzza of Adria Firestone...she tore up the set, furiously involved, strong enough to dispatch her inadequate Turiddu with the flick of a high note.

Rigoletto, Maddalena
Adria Firestone, is out of the ordinary with fire in her soul, and a mezzo voice which only comes along once every ten years...with her exotic Latin beauty, her voice is powerful, with body, almost torrential, but with a soft color and timbre and an expressive sensuality that explains to me her triumphs in every house incarnating our immortal Carmen. A wild stage beast.
