Fortunately there is Demenkova; with her Requiem aeternam she draws the entire hall towards her - NRC
Dutch National Opera - Gianni Schicchi
Demenkova's "O mio babbino caro..." was every bit as irresistible as it should have been - Bachtrack
Dutch National Opera - Gianni Schicchi
The daughter, Lauretta, was superbly sung by the Russian soprano Inna Demenkova... Her sparkling soprano voice is very beautiful, the role is well suited to her voice and it was comical, without detracting from the beauty of the aria - Place de l'Opera
Dutch National Opera - Gianni Schicchi
Another of the most applauded singers was the soprano Inna Demenkova, also a Russian singer with an exquisite timbre, which she exhibited in the character of Suor Genovieffa in Suor Angelica. But her Lauretta, in Gianni Schicchi, allowed her to enjoy the only applauded interruption of the evening: the popular aria O mio babbino caro, which she sang with a perfectly calculated pout - El Pais
The same goes for soprano Inna Demenkova. What a voice, what a charisma and above all what empathy she displayed once again. She already did this in several performances last year, such as in Ändere die Welt, but in Paradiso she sang so beautifully that the audience, which had long held back from applauding after every aria or duet, could no longer hold back after another beautiful aria ('Mi palpita il cor') by this soprano. Bravas and thunderous applause descended upon her!
Inna Demenkova first. What a phenomenal singer she is. A beautiful even, darkly timbreed, but crystal clear soprano voice, which technically can completely transform her entire pallet of colors, dynamic range and expression into singing that moves. Every scene with her was impressive. How many languages must this soprano think, translate and sing in? Russian (her mother tongue), German, French, back and forth...It didn't seem to hinder her from finding the right pronunciation for each piece, but above all the right expression. Her character, a mother with child who still seems to have hope for a better world and probably wants to fight for it, she portrayed credibly, movingly and vocally flawlessly. Let's hope she will be retained for the Netherlands for a few more years because the world's stages are her oyster!
Demenkova has a presence like a born prima donna and already lets us see the allure necessary to succeed in the profession. She also possesses a golden instrument: her strong, rounded soprano — and especially the ease and freedom with which she uses it — earned her loud bravo calls during the performance
Inna Demenkova has everything it takes for the opera stage — and for the very big one at that. Her voice has rich low notes and rises with ease into silvery highs. She is also a highly gifted actress, indeed a born comedienne, and she knows how to combine these two levels effortlessly, blending subtle gestures with vocal nuances. In short: the young Russian soprano made a striking impression at the Vienna Chamber Opera in Rossini’s double-role-switch comedy L’occasione fa il ladro — translated as Opportunity Makes a Thief. We’ll undoubtedly be hearing more from her
