San Francisco Chronicle, September 2024'Haroutounian’s warmly beautiful soprano and finely sculpted phrasing touch your heart in Amelia’s great arias “Ma dall’arido stelo divulsa (When I have plucked the herb)” and “Morrò, ma prima in grazia (I shall die, but first let me hold my child).”'
The Stage, June 2022'The evening belongs to Lianna Haroutounian, whose dramatic soprano radiates confidence and power – not least in her rendition of Un bel di vedremo.'
Javier del Olivo, Platea Magazine, December 2024"The leading role was in the hands of Lianna Haroutounian, who delivered a masterclass in singing. The Armenian soprano was spectacular throughout the performance, especially in the final part, where she showcased her remarkable qualities: a rich voice, full-bodied singing, ease and confidence across her entire range, a beautiful timbre, and projection and volume perfectly suited to her role. It is difficult to highlight one moment over another in her performance, but in Es gibt ein Reich, it was already evident that we were about to witness an unforgettable Ariadne. All the final scenes with Bacchus were extraordinary. A brilliant singer."
