Carmen

Opera Australia

Sydney, Australia

“The orchestral playing under the direction of Yankovskaya was admirably restrained. After an appropriately bouncy introduction to the prelude, she kept the forces of the Opera Australia Orchestra well balanced and supportive of the singers, bringing out the lyricism of the entr’actes and the subtle foreboding of the fate motif.
–Bachtrack

“Yankovskaya conducted with enormous sensitivity. She favours lightness and clarity without any loss of momentum. There are new insights too into often-heard music. There is often an attractive lacy quality that for all its difference summons thoughts of Spain.”
