Ein Deutsches Requiem (Brahms) | West Australian Symphony Orchestra  

“Perroni rose, sonorous strings heralding her exquisite soprano drifting as on a breeze across the orchestra; singing of sorrow with a sense of awe that filled the hall....... sung with such calm, clear quality she seemed to embody the very human, heartfelt aspirations of the text, finding echoes in the woodwind chorus to close.”

La Traviata (Violetta) | West Australian Opera

“Elena Perroni made her role debut as Violetta manipulating her seductive velvet soprano with impressive technique. “

“Despite the artifice and grand scale of opera, Perroni kept the raw emotion ever in focus.... On stage, Violetta – a powerful and impassioned Elena Perroni… she sings, and the heartache is tangible…Perroni kept the raw emotion ever in focus.”

Belshazzar - Handel | Adelaide Philharmonia Chorus

“Perroni — whose doomed Mimi you couldn’t help compare to one of Modigliani’s melancholy women ... Sometimes you even felt like you were watching a piece of Italian neo-realist cinema.... quite magnificent. “

“As Mimi, she did not disappoint, her soprano so full and flexible, yet so capable of expressing fragility and mortality without incongruity.”

“Elena Perroni, in her first Australian professional engagement, sang with a focused pearly soprano that had fragility but bloomed wonderfully when required.”

Yardbird (Charlie Parker) | English National Opera

“Perroni makes your spine tingle in that wordless lament ... The late scene in the mental hospital came as a real relief, with its gentle, reflective setting and the quiet keening of Elena Perroni.“

Song To the Moon (Rusulka) | Philadelphia Orchestra

“You didn't need to understand the text about the "silvery moon in the velvet night" in Dvorak's "Song to the Moon" from Rusalka: It was all right there in the silvery orchestrations, and in the velvet soprano voice of Elena Perroni”

Anne Trulove (The Rake’s Progress - Stravinsky) | Curtis Institute of Music

Anne Trulove (The Rake’s Progress - Stravinsky) | Curtis Institute of Music

“Soprano Elena Perroni was particularly strong as Anne Trulove, with all of that character's vulnerabilities and underlying strength playing out in subtle ways vocally.”

Peter Dobrin

“A true ensemble of singer-actors starred Elena Perroni, smooth-voiced and heartrending as Anne Trulove”
