'..I was struck by a combination of a voice of silken beauty with a powerfully affecting sensitivity.
I‘d never been so totally engaged by a performance of La Voix Humaine, and haven’t since.
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. '
Michael White, 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 to cause people to
feel something,
even if it is painful, rather than to feel nothing at all.
I get complete sensual excitement
from singing, but also a sense of therapeutic healing that I experience when I sing
and act and I think that the same
applies to my audience. To heal within myself and help people to heal through me;
this is what my heart desires. I am
passionate about projects that reflect human issues. I want people in the audience
to see themselves in me, through
me and to come out of the performance moved, inspired, seeing their own life in perspective...
