KERRY DOOLE (TANDEM -)
" ... Comrades performing at the show(KENNY MACLEAN Tribute show) included operatic rock diva PATRIZIA (her rendition of “Rage” was a highlight)....." " |
INDIECAN RADIO
" Holy f***can you believe what you just saw and heard!!!!!!!!" " |
MULTIBEAT RECORDS
" ...Patrizia, a modern exponent of opera rock, surrounds her strong and formidable soprano with heavy-duty rock arrangements of opera classics... " |
Jody Glaser (Juicy Stuff)
" The feature performer was Patrizia, who is known for what may be called Alternative Operatic Rock. Her chilling four-octave operatic voice had the stage presence and attitude of a rock star. What a thrilling performance! " |
Caitlin Hotchkiss (Chart Attack (CMW showcase review))
" Man, it was all about the voice here. Combining Patrizia's huge operatic vocal presence with her intimidating stare....The audience was fascinated and riveted. If this sort of sound can work for Rasputina, it can obviously work for Patrizia. And way to rock that wicked stand-up bass, bald dude!" " |
Trent McMartin (Mote Magazine)
" Patrizia's 4-octave soprano voice is amazing and during the album's slower numbers it really shines..... Obviously a maverick, Patrizia seems to be someone who thinks outside the box not letting tradition or stereotypes get in her way, which is a strong attribute to have in such a cutthroat business as the music industry -- " |
Orazio Mauro (City Life Magazine!)
" "..Patrizia combines her unique soprano voice and thundering rock to create a stunning new genre in the music world." " |
Faith Jensen (Mind's Eye)
" ... is motivating and could definitely help listeners find meaning in their lives. With all the packaged and detached music playing on the radio today, Defiance is a welcome change. And to lead us without strain or tension through this journey, a singer with such a beautiful voice not often heard. " |
John Terauds (The Toronto Star)
" ...and the assembled audience - with nary an opera connoisseur to be seen scanning the choices of draught at the bar - loved it. " |
Naomi DeBruyn (Linear Reflections)
" Perhaps the most unique performer I have ever heard in my life..Freddy Mercury (Queen) would have been blown away and completely dazzled by Patrizia...this is one incredible force of nature....she is definitely a performer to watch, one who will chenge the face of music as her career waxes. " |
Ray's reviews (Journal-Pioneer)
" Patrizia has an absolutely stunning and solid voice. It has theatricality few in Canada - or anywhere - for that matter could match. She can make it sound so sexy but at other times so angst-filled. Yes, she is that good and then some. " |
Martina Sorbara (Chart)
" ...Patrizia has an outstanding operatic voice and range.... " |
Kerry Doole (Tandemnews)
" ..Patrizia has the looks and voice of a true diva....Opera purists will, of course hate this, but those with open ears should check it out..." " |
Naomi DeBruyn (Linear Reflections)
" ... the most unparelled music I have ever heard in my life. It is haunting, passionate and filled with stimulating evocative sounds that will thrill the very blood within your veins. I am not a fan of opera, however, Patrizia has changed that. I love what she has done, and am satisfied that she has not only broken, but completely obliterared the chains of conformity with this release. " |
Lisa Jorgensen (The Times)
" The more it is listened to the more it becomes addictive and appreciated ... " |
Ashley Petkovsky (The Muse's Muse)
" The light and dark come together on Defiance, breathing and beating new life into the classics. Patrizia sings with passion and unhindered power, the raw emotions of the songs coming through. The simple song titles mirror the emotions and psychological states that Patrizia's voice is capable of reflecting and sharing with her listenership.

Alex Ristic (Rip´n Tear)
" The effect is unique....and Patrizia is no weakling, with a soaring voice that would make the old masters proud. Interesting to say the least. " |
Dave Gauvin (Times and Transcript)
" ... she sings the world´s best known opera arias, replacing the orchestral arrangements with crunching Zeppelinesque quitar riffs ... Patrizia charges through the classics with the conviction of Robert Plant and Maria Callas. " |
John Sekerka (Thrust)
" "...Patrizia soars wih Bizet's "Temptation". She's breathtaking on Puccini's "Desperation". Mozart's "Fury" must be heard to be believed. Hear this woman roar! And best of all this thing rocks. Rocks with gnarly quitar licks and thundering drumming.....makes all subsequent stabs at music by mere mortals obsolete.

Bruce Mitchell (Capital News)
" Think Joan Sutherland fronting Bad Company ... the opening track Temptation will put a smile on your face with its very familiar refrains that emerge from bluesy/reggae bass lines and hard edged guitar ... This is a delightful diversion. " |
Jennifer Parks (Prince George Free Press)
" ... an ultraviolet jewel piercing the thundering landscape of an epic Pink Floyd song ... " |
Melanie Lusk (The Tofield Mercury)
" Patrizia´s voice is remarkable ... " |
Doug Gallant (The Evening Patriot)

Ashley Petkovsky (The Muse´s Muse)
" Crossing boundaries not crossed often enough, Patrizia makes her musical concept of ´Alternative Rock Opera´ work with incredible majesty ... " |
