Comments about recent performances:
"Lucia Matos is a conductor of exceptional muscianship and a leader who makes clear to her colleagues exactly what she wants. And what she wants invariably serves each composer's requirements."
Erik Eriksson
NW Review
"Lucia Matos and the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra provide a fine, vibrant sound and make good accompanists. With its out of the way repetoire and musical performances, this is a highly recommended disc."
Robert Hugill
MusicWeb International
"The concert concluded with Beethoven's Eighth Symphony. Here Matos was in her element. She clearly loves the work and had the musicians play with vibrancy and joy."
Marty Lash
Door County Advocate
"Lucia Matos understands language in opera - not just the correct pronunciation of the words and their literal translations, but the deeper purpose of the text and the true meaning of the words to create character, propel the drama and communicate. She also loves and understands the voice. Recognizing the demands of the various roles and the singers' individual strengths and limitations, she elicited superior performances from everyone."
William Swain
Opera Illinois
"[Carlos Chavez - Symphony No. 2 India] was conducted quite masterfully by Lucia Matos, who brought out the work's melodic nuances and rhythmic vitality admirably."
