"A voice of silken beauty"
Opera Now
'What interests me, is what lurks in the inner depths of the human soul, and how
I can express it through my voice when I find what is hidden there. I am attracted to crisis (tensions, drama), those transition
times in life when people are tested, when their social masks do not matter anymore, and the true person is revealed.
I want people in the audience not
only to be moved by the music and the colours of the voice, but to come out of the performance inspired, seeing their own
life in perspective... '
Ilona Domnich, Interview

'..I was struck by a combination
of a voice of silken beauty with a powerfully affecting sensitivity. Ilona Domnich gave the most compelling performance
of the piece I've ever witnessed: not big in gesture, but minutely observed, utterly credible, and sung with a disarming,
jewel-like beauty. I've seen a lot of Voix Humaines...this was the first I've ever known to leave me on the edge of
tears. '
