Sonia Warzyńska made a great impression by presenting two contrasting arias. She sang each of them in totally different style and fashon. In challeging Fiordiligi’s aria „Come scoglio” with a big tonal range and large intervals, she showed impressive voice integrity, singing intelligence and a skill of very detailed technical and expressive preparation. Pamina’s aria "Ach, ich fühl's" was interpreted by her very tenderly and in a straightforward way.
