REVIEWS

Symphony No. 2 by L. Farrenc at La Maestra Competition – Mar. 2022

“Zoe Zeniodi, our great favourite!
During La Maestra, Zoe Zeniodi won us over by conducting Louise Farrenc’s Symphony with great panache, determination and sensitivity. She is a conductor with a great sense of articulation and is very structured. She is very charismatic and knows how to communicate effectively with the orchestra and the soloists.”

– Frédérique Reibell, classiquemaispashasbeen.fr

The Human Voice (by Poulenc) and The Call (D’Netto) at Opera Queensland, Brisbane Festival – Sept. 2022

“Conductor Zoe Zeniodi and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra prepared both operas to a standard that suited the genres with complete stylistic perfection, which is of course merit to Zeniodi’s leadership and knowledge.”

– Nikhil Deo, Limelight

 Le nozze di Figaro at New Zealand Opera – Jun. 2021

“The musical highlights were the long finales of the second and fourth acts; Zeniodi tied together all of the musical threads easily, highlighting key individual vocal and instrumental details and bringing each of these to an exciting conclusion.”

– Simon Holden, bachtrack.com
