Praise for Francesca Chiejina
“Francesca Chiejina’s Mimì was the vocal highlight of the evening and a superlative performance in its own right… unerringly precise in intonation and showcasing a remarkable range of colours across the voice… She will surely go from strength-to-strength”
Opera Wire on La Bohème, 2022
