Simon Boccanegra / Das Theater Lübeck / 16.05.23 / nmz.de.
"Die einzig große weibliche Partie, die Amelia, sang Flurina Stucki, Gast von der Deutschen Oper Berlin. Es wurde ein großartiges Geschenk für die Besucher. Sie machte aus ihrer lyrischen Auftrittsarie als Amelia mit stimmungsvollen "Come in quest´ora bruna'' einen betörenden Höhepunkt."
Simon Boccanegra / Das Theater Lübeck / 14.05.23 / klassik-begeistert.de
"Star des Abends war unbestritten die Sopranistin Flurina Stucki von der Deutschen Oper Berlin, deren Amelia mit größtmöglicher Präsenz bei Berücksichtigung all der Zartheiten in der Wiedergabe ihrer Emotionen absolut überzeugte. Darstellerisch und gesanglich bot sie eine umwerfende Einheit;
sie verstand es, ihre starke, alles überstrahlende Stimme zu zügeln, wenn es zu seelenvollen Duetten wie dem mit ihrem wiedergefunden Vater oder ihrem Geliebten Gabriele Adorno ging."
