Mar Morán

"The Spanish soprano Mar Morán enjoyed resounding success. Making her debut at the Teatro Colón, she delivered a remarkable Olympia, distinguished by a bright, fresh voice, solid technique, and exceptional precision"

This is precisely what the Spanish soprano accomplished, earning a resounding and thoroughly deserved ovation.”
