    Opéra national du Rhin
    Apr 2024

    • et il y a aujourd’hui Adriana Bignani Lesca (photo), irréprochable à chacune de ses interventions, où elle impose son timbre rare et une diction impeccable, l’actrice étant elle aussi à la hauteur (ah, ce sourire quand elle apprend que Guercœur renvoyé sur Terre va enfin souffrir !). and today there is Adriana Bignani Lesca (photo), flawless in every performance, imposing her rare timbre and impeccable diction, and the actress is also up to the task (ah, that smile when she learns that Guercœur, sent back to Earth, is finally going to suffer!).

    • Adriana Bignagni Lesca confère à sa Souffrance une ligne solide mais subtile, et des graves profonds et nourris. Adriana Bignagni Lesca gives her Souffrance a solid but subtle line, and deep, nourished bass.

    • Adriana Bignagni Lesca trouve dans Souffrance un rôle à la mesure de ses moyens : son timbre profond de contralto, servi par une projection assurée, captive immédiatement. In Souffrance, Adriana Bignagni Lesca finds a role worthy of her abilities: her deep contralto timbre, supported by confident projection, is immediately captivating.

  • Dvořák - Rusalka (Jezibaba)

    Ópera de Tenerife
    Mar 2024 - Mar 2024

    • But the one who showed true charisma was the mezzo-soprano Adriana Bignagni Lesca , playing a magnificent and forceful Jezibaba . Lesca offered us a deliciously evil Jezibaba, giving the character undeniable strength and character. In each appearance she kept the entire audience in suspense, thanks not only to an authentic performance, but also to a rich voice where she had the opportunity to stand out by singing the memorable and magical aria Čury mury fuk . It was without a doubt the performance that she connected the most with the audience.

  • John Adams - Antony and Cleopatra

    Grand Theatre del Liceu, Barcelona

  • Donizetti - Viva la mamma

  • Leoš Janáček - The Diary of the One Who Disappeared

    Opera National du Rhin
    Mar 2022

    • La mezzo Adriana Bignagni Lesca (qui ne devait initialement assurer que les représentations de Mulhouse et qui remplace Josy Santos pour ces premières dates strasbourgeoises) descend aisément sous la voix du ténor, vers de profonds graves poitrinés et projette de puissants accents. Le médium aigu est très vibré e vibrant, au service d'un grand phrasé et d'une prononciation limpide, très déliée. [Translated] The mezzo Adriana Bignagni Lesca descends easily under the tenor's voice, towards deep low weights and projects powerful accents. The high mid-range is very vibrant, serving great phrasing and a clear pronunciation, very loose.

  • Gaetano Donizetti - La Fille du régiment

    Teatro Donizetti
    Nov 2021

    • Adriana Bignagni Lesca was a much appreciated surprise; she sang La Marquise de Berkenfield with a smooth bronzed mezzo tending to contralto, with a beautiful, warm low register, powerful yet contained (she would be an excellent Ulrica, methinks). She had a ball with the funny character, singing El arreglito by Sebastián Yradier – the habanera “borrowed” by Bizet to became Carmen’s – or barking with a cavernous bass at her butler, while interpolating smiles and high-pitched giggles for a Duchess. Born to be on stage.

  • Offenbach - La Périchole

    Festival de Radio France et Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon
    Jul 2018

    • The arrival of Adriana Bignani Lesca as the fourth lady-in-waiting, beautiful mezzo, warm and sonorous. [Translated] L’arrivée d' Adriana Bignani Lesca, la quatrième dame d’honneur, beau mezzo, chaleureux et sonore.

    • The alto Adriana Bignagni Lesca Joins them later in Act II with her ample voice with the beautiful shaded timbre of viola to form a quartet of voices mocking the couple of lovers. [Translated] L’alto Adriana Bignagni Lesca les rejoint par la suite à l’Acte II de sa voix ample au beau timbre ombragé d’alto pour former un quatuor de voix railleuses contre le couple d’amants.
