„Her voice is so exceptional that she convinced not only the jury, but also the audience can feel that they have just experienced an extraordinary performance : with the aria „Quel guardo“ from Donizetti’s Don Pasquale, Elia shows a stage presence that Racitti praises. She is the winner of this year’s Lotte Lehman Academy.“
