In describing her voice, the words that come spontaneously to me are qualities like grace, sweetness and mellowness, and when it comes to her personality, I think of authenticity, charisma and above all elegance.
All of those qualities amount to something special, something which anyone who loves music and the vocal art is always looking for but seldom finds: magic. I have often been witness to the spell she casts on her audience when performing.
Allow yourself to be enchanted!

Maestralna Marija Vidović u Lisinskom – impresivna izvedba pjesama Richarda Straussa
Međimurska sopranistica svjetskog glasa, Marija Vidović, oduševila je publiku impresivnom izvedbom pjesama Richarda Straussa u koncertnoj dvorani Vatroslava Lisinskog.
Povodom 160. godišnjice Straussova rođenja i 75 godina od njegove smrti, održan je koncert u prepunoj maloj dvorani Lisinskog, gdje je uz klavirsku pratnju Bože Letunića, Marija Vidović maestralno interpretirala Straussove solo pjesme. Straussove skladbe, iako malobrojnije od onih Schubertovih ili Brahmsovih, ostale su upamćene kao pravi dragulji koji sažimaju čitav spektar emocija, a koji su i tematski izrazito zanimljivi i raznorodni.
