Lirico-Spinto Soprano
A voice that has moved from lyric repertoire into heavier dramatic territory, and a singer who works from the inside of a character out.

As Mimí
"What a cold little hand, but what warm tones...Inna Dukach was a Mimì capable of singing that was so artless as to be understated, with warm corners to a voice that moved smoothly up and down the staff and was enlisted in the service of the acting."- The New York Times (Anne Midgette)

As Cio-Cio San
“Madama Butterfly has the delicate, exquisite beauty of a finely crafted figurine, and Dukach captures the opera’s very soul with a rendering of Cio Cio San that draws us into the character’s intrinsic pathos with her every facial expression and gesture.” -Pensacola News Journal
-
As Musetta
"It was, however, Inna Dukach's portrayal of Musetta that stole the show. She earned mid-aria applause with a spell binding pianissimo in act 2, and even managed to inject some humanity into the usually shallow man-eater.” -MusicOMH.com (Stephen Crowe)
