"The portrayal of the characters, from the lustful innkeeper's daughter (stunning Martina Welschenbach) to the sassy stablemaid (the consistently captivating Kismara Pessatti), from the boastful petty bourgeois (Reinhard Mayr very good as the woodcutter) to the clumsy politician, from the greedy innkeeper with his cardboard-crowned serving staff, to the sensitive broom-binder's daughter (moving Marie-Thérèse Albert), deserves the highest admiration." King’s Children Oper-aktuell October 2007 "In any case, the three mezzo-sopranos Kismara Pessatti [...] sounded fresh and full and were thus able to cast their dangerous nets." Orpheus and Eurydike Oper-aktuell February 2010 "The Brazilian alto Kismara Pessatti, singing with a slightly guttural touch, convinced with energetic articulation and deep inner involvement." Karajan Music Prize Helmuth Rilling November 2011 "Finally, in No.18, we note the contralto's arioso accompanied by strings alone, capable of conveying a sense of extraordinary and necessary peace and repose to alleviate the accumulated tension; the contralto Kismara Pessatti, with the softness of her voice and with her vibrant low notes, made precious this piece, which might otherwise be a simple transition piece." Mendelssohn: Elias February 2012 "Still little known in Brazil, but already pursuing a notable international career, Kismara Pessatti (Orfeo) possesses a rare, beautiful and colourful alto timbre, which she artistically masters, allied to stupendous acting, demanded by Araújo’s uniquely designed staging. At the very end of the show, the words “May the whole world serve the empire of beauty” sung by Orfeo and extracted from the libretto, was projected on the walls. More than a mere citation, it serves as a confession of faith, a pact with Art signed in capital letters in this already mythical production." Orfeu Leonardo Martinelli, October 2012 Concerto Magazine "The involvement that Ms. Pessatti brings to her singing of Cathérine’s lines is audible, and her interactions with her colleagues reveal a grace lacking in the work of many young singers." CD Review: Honegger, Jeanne d’Arc au bûcher Voix des Arts August 2013 "The Brazilian Kismara Pessatti, who has lived in Zurich for years and has established herself internationally in the concert and opera fields with intensive activity, sings the role of the old woman from the people." Die erste Walpurgisnacht St. Galler Tagblatt February 2014 "This set is full of fine things. The Brazilian alto Kismara Pessatti is properly harrowing in the cantata-like First Symphony…." Hartmann Symphonies 1-8 BBC Music Magazine May 2014 "Kismara Pessatti sympathetically captured it vocally. A polyphonic richness permeated "The Bells of Dawn" in particular as a brilliant conclusion to this work. The "Dance of Love Play" also possessed great expressive magic in this interpretation, as did the demonic midnight "Incantations"." El amor brujo Online Merker January 2015 "With a determined hand, Love (alto Kismara Pessatti) guides the pen here: On the initially innocently white clothes and suits (design: Marie-Jeanne Lecca), she writes her stories." Roméo et Juliette St. Galler Tagblatt February 2015 "Kismara Pessatti is a Marzellina with concentrated energy." The Marriage of Figaro St. Galler Tagblatt September 2016 "Quite different is Kismara Pessatti: a powerhouse in her emotional outbursts. Nothing for romantics! But musically so exuberant that the satire comes across splendidly black over the ramp." Mikado St. Galler Tagblatt January 2017 "A rare, beautiful and colourful timbre, which she artistically masters, allied to stupendous acting." Concerto Magazine Leonardo Martinelli "... she (Kismara Pezzati) brings earthly colours to six antiphons and one Alleluia, to which Sarah Hatch’s bright bells and silvery chimes bring a mystical edge." BBC Music Magazine "... the dark, rich voice of Kismara Pessatti casts a whole new light on her (Hildegard’s) music. The Brazilian contralto’s vocal style is rooted in scholarly study, but never hinders a sense of improvisatory freedom." BBC Music Magazine January 2020 "(...) Flosshilde of the rich-voiced Brazilian contralto Kismara Pessatti being especially memorable." Das Rheingold, Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Graham Williams, HRAudio.net
