Daniela Mack Sizzles as Carmen for Opera Philadelphia

Rick Perdian

“Daniela Mack’s Carmen [was] a fiery gypsy femme fatale, whose voice smoldered as intensely as her gaze; men were putty in her hands. All her arias were tossed off with panache, but it was the Card Scene where her dark mezzo-soprano was shown off to full advantage. The Argentinean soprano had the style needed to wear a dazzling red flamenco dress that Don José shreds before slitting her throat in the final seconds of the opera.”

“A tempting siren who can have any man she wants, Mack plays her character well and quite effectively as she sings the seductive “Habenera” and the castanet-accompanied dance ‘Je vais danser en votre honneur … La la la.’”

“The impetuous and feisty title roles were taken by Daniela Mack and Alek Shrader — both high-energy singers and compelling actors who were completely believable as opponents and as lovers.”

“Alek Shrader and Daniela Mack had delectable chemistry on opening night as the swaggering Benedict and feisty Beatrice. Initially one-upping each other with clever barbs as comfortably as habit, they displayed a lovely vulnerability as they fall in love. Mack’s dusky mezzo had superb agility and reach, and Shrader had a warmly expansive tenor.”

“Mack’s impeccable performance communicates Jackie’s struggles with the loss of her two children, Arabella and Patrick, while trying to establish a sense of intimacy with her distant husband. Her monologues are rife with imagery of loss, as she mourns the pain of an empty crib.”

“Les chanteurs sont tous à la hauteur, en particulier la mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack, dont on peut dire qu’elle porte une grande partie de la production sur ses épaules. Elle transmet magistralement et avec émotion la musique de Little, qui lui a donné un rôle fort mais difficile ainsi que les plus beaux airs.”

“Mezzo-soprano Daniela Mack is having one of those seasons that opera singers dream of: a run of a new opera that received rave reviews, role and house debuts at major opera houses, and the title role in Carmen at one of the great U.S. houses. I am so pleased that, despite her hectic schedule, Daniela was willing to answer a few of my questions about her current season, her background, and her love of the art form.”
