"Ranalli reveals herself as a master thespian rivaling the best that London has to offer. She earns that distinction with an intriguingly protean performance of an actress who morphs effortlessly from a ditzy hack to something much deeper in both thought and deed."
- Vanda, Venus in Fur |
I couldn’t take my eyes off Ranalli. As Quesnelle’s character marvels at Ranalli’s character’s exquisite beauty, otherworldly qualities, and her split-second voice changes – we are with him every step of the way. [...] She is an excellent actor. She creates not one but two fascinating characters."

“Francesca Ranalli’s eyes pierce the audience with every outward flash, and that is the least of her impact. She carries her frightening Elizabethan grace all over the stage, injecting the play with a shot of the Bard’s adrenaline. […] She’s full of love for it. ‘Love adds a precious seeing to the eye.’ She adds it to every eye watching her.”

“This [is] a voice of quite different timbre, slightly metallic, a quality of many sopranos and mezzos who went on to fame and fortune. It’s a sound that’s ideal in many of Rossini’s earlier operas and in modern times was superbly produced by the likes of Hollywood stars Kathryn Grayson and Elaine Malbin.”

"Quant au rôle de Kate Pinkerton, l'épouse américaine de ce beau monsieur, Francesca Ranalli semblait sortir d'une peinture de James Whistler ou encore de John Singer Sargent."
- Kate Pinkerton, Madama Butterfly |
“… the impressive authority and considerable charm Francesca Ranalli brings to her portrayal… charismatic… star-quality performance”
