Soprano assoluto & genuine belcanto & tradition the 19th - early 20th century & master of voice
In the "golden age of bel canto", in the early 19th century, soprano was not divided into "soprano" and "mezzo".
Versatility of voice - The key to a wide range of rich, sonorous powerful voice that in a split second strikes the listener "from within", is very rare these days and is called the old Italian school of bel canto singing, which is based on the body
(bone sound resonance), its proper distribution
(principle `voce alla croce`).
Elena Cornelisse-Syssojeva finalized her vocal studies with the famous maestro James McCray (student of the great Mario del Monaco).

Elena lets her voice shine..
From the first tone she took the intent, the style and the charakter.
Elena :Theater Woman of Purest Water
Es soon as the first tunes sound it is clear: Elena is dark brown soprano.
...voice of very high quality
...a brilliant voice
The public compares her vocal quality in opera with Maria Callas, Gina Cigna, Gena Dimitrova and in chamber music with Zara Doluchanova.

Wonder voice...
Elena has a voice like a clock, great volume, great technique... and the most amazing sound.
...very special timbre ... ehen you hear Elena sing Bach, you think of the great Passions. Although she sings a lot of opera, a career as an oratorio singer would suit her well.
