Tim Smith, writing for the The Baltimore Sun, said Boross gave a ?roof-raising performance?.
?The standout among the principals is Csilla Boross as Abagaille, a role that makes treacherous technical demands. The soprano has a terrific set of pipes, with abundant fire at the top and gutsy power in the low and middle range. She can slice through an ensemble scene, easily, excitingly,? Smith wrote.
?It?s not just an electric vocal performance; Boross brings abundant temperament and personality to a ruthless character made all the more imposing here with an entrance that involves slitting the throat of a prisoner,? he added.
The Washington Post critic Anne Midgette said Boross?s encore of Va, pensiero, with the participation of the audience, assisted by Italian supertitles, was ?some of the evening?s most honest and moving singing yet?.
