Reviews

Don Giovanni (Donna Anna) - Opera Carolina

"Soprano Inna Dukach cut a fine figure as the raven-haired beauty, Donna Anna. Her lower range was firm and her voice was even and seamless as it soared up its range. The power and finesse of her voice was well displayed in the aria Or sai chi l'onore."

Classical Voice of North Carolina - April, 2008

"Inna Dukach hurled vocal lightning-bolts with abandon in her revenge aria. But Dukach also had a tenderness that revealed her affection."

The Charlotte Observer - March, 2008

"All three of the Don's conquests had fine moments, but Inna Dukach as rape victim/grieving daughter/reluctant fiancee Donna Anna was by far the most sensational of the soprano trio."

Charlotte Creative Loafing Magazine - April, 2008

La Boheme (Mimi) - New York City Opera

"What a cold little hand, but what warm tones...Inna Dukach was a Mimi capable of singing that was so artless as to be understated, with warm corners to a voice that moved smoothly up and down the staff and was enlisted in the service of the acting."

The New York Times (Anne Midgette) - September, 2007

"Inna Dukach's Mim“ showed an appealing emotional vulnerability, spinning out some of the softer, higher lines (in her Act III "Addio," for example) with a pliant legato. Never appearing to reach for effects, the soprano moved easily throughout her range, with colorful shaping and shading, and had the art of making each phrase sound as though it had just occurred to her."

Opera News (John W. Freeman) - December, 2007

"Inna Dukach's rich, slightly darkish soprano proved an excellent match for Mimi's music, and she invested the girl with a welcome dose of personality.

The New York Sun (George Loomis) - September, 2007

La Boheme (Mimi) - Lake George Opera

"Dukach has a voice that's warm, lush and focused. In her opening aria "Mi chiamano Mimi," one could practically see morning light as she sang of sunshine in April."

The Times Union - June, 2007

"Inna Dukach as the Mimi from her first aria to her dying exhalation, inhabits the character. The voice has a deliciously scented blossom, size enough to fill any auditorium, and she colors her words and voice with artistic brilliance. She's a comer; remember the name."

The Troy Record - July, 2007

The Longboat Observer - February, 2006

"Inna Dukach pours out Puccini's lovely melodies with lyricism and great control. Her glorious singing adds translucency and luster to the music with golden, liquid tones."

The Venice Gondolier Sun - February, 2006

"Mimi was beautifully played by Inna Dukach. In "Mi Chiamano Mimi", her voice portrayed all the exquisite emotions of the character, while her persona was an ideal blend of hope and fragility... Dukach continued to impress throughout, making these moments moving."

St. Petersburg Times - February, 2006

"Tall and pretty....glowing and expressively sung."

Curtain Up (Elise Summer) - October, 2005

Museum of the Russian Renaissance Recital Series - Boston, MA

"Soprano Inna Dukach commanded the auditorium with a voice that was at once powerful and so perfectly controlled that she transitioned with ease from a strong and resonant forte to a barely audible pianissimo without compromising the pure clarity of her tone. It was this tone that held the audience in rapt attention and washed over me in waves, enveloping me in the music."

MetroWest Daily News - February, 2005

Verdi's Requiem (Soloist) - Brooklyn Philharmonic, Interfaith Concert of Remembrance

"The brilliant soprano, Inna Dukach, with her spectacular voice and talent expressed such inconsolable grief, melancholy, beauty, and sound as if torn from the heart. It seems that no other soloist could have possibly done the piece justice."

Russian Bazaar - November, 2004

Midsummer Night's Dream (Helena) - Opera North

"Both Elizabeth Batton, who sang the role of Hermia, and Inna Dukach, who sang the role of Helena, gave standout vocal performances. Their stage rivalry, including stripping down to short, sexy silk nighties, was done with humour and expressiveness, and was pleasing to the eye as well. Each of these women was self-confident, strong in their roles, and convincing as actors."

OperaOnline.us - August, 2004

"The brilliant soprano of Inna Dukach's plaintive Helena [was] as rich in voice as it was in humour."

Times Argus, VT - August, 2004

Brahms' Requiem (Soloist) - Greenwich Choral Society

The Boston Globe - 2003

"Songs on Pushkin's Poetry" Recital - Queens Public Library

"A deep, strong, beautiful voice of unusual timbre, wonderful artistry and a subtle feel for melody. Her voice expressed the full range of emotion of the music. Her Rachmaninov brought tears to my eyes. Inna Dukach is a rising star in the musical world."
