she is one of the best Toscas of our times. Her acting is pure, very simple in form, wonderfully attached to singing.

I saw her last Saturday afternoon. She was magnificent. I’ve seen many Tosca‘s in my life including Magda Olivero’s, and Sondra is up there with the greatest I’ve seen.

Hernandez’ Tosca in Rome was a bitter pill to swallow… a very thickened voice, with many pitch problems, no worldclass singing and emotionally empty

Hernandez has a big voice, which she uses as if she's driving a mack truck. No sensitivity or artistry, just big thick sound. And she's consistently flat above the staff. Don't get me wrong, if she came to my area I'd love to hear her, I've heard her in recital before and it was enjoyable, but a world class Tosca she is not.

While to my hear not the best I've heard, this is is a totally and indisputably good performance. The singer, whom I know nothing about, while looking aged, shows a notable stength in her voice, a very uncommon and welcome feature. So, in summary , a very respectable performance - it seems that vissi d'arte are keeping her young 😊
