" The first sign for the success of this performance was soprano Einat Aronstein's opening aria, that of the allegorical figure, la Musica. [It was] pure and particularly beautiful singing with stylized and exciting ornaments.
Later Aronstein portrayed, with similar success, the role of Euridice, Orfeo's lover "
