Gabriella was at my local restaurant Mattonis, in Hampton, Peterborough, singing dedications to couples on Valentine’s Day whilst eating their meals. There was a list of songs to choose from prior to the eve but unfortunately not the song that is particularly special to my husband & I. It happens to be our Wedding anniversary on Valentines Day, sadly it could well be our last this year as my husband has complex health issues. I messaged Gabriella to explain the situation & she straight away agreed to learn the song (it wasn’t much notice for her) & she did an amazing performance, sang so beautifully with just the right balance of emotion & passion, we were blown away & it made this year’s Valentines/Wedding Anniversary the most special for us. There was also a photographer there- Paul Saunders- who took the trouble to video this wonderful moment for us so that we have the memory forever. Not only is Gabriella the best singer but we’ve also made an amazing friend.

Fab night, beautiful singing!
Paul Saunders
Gabriella really added that extra magical touch to a fantastic evening and in the process created an extra magical moment for another couple, (which I was privileged to record) and I hope they will treasure. Enough said, it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

In my profession I am always meeting and working alongside other professional people. However with respect to everyone out there, I have ever come across such an amazing talent before! Gabriella is one amazing, talented young lady that I was mesmerised by and privileged to see and work alongside. What a voice! She even spoilt us with a choice and option of 7 languages she can brilliantly in! https://www.instagram.com/derbyshireweddingevents/

We just wanted to thank you for your performance at the Jubilee Picnic on Sunday. As always, your rapport with the audience was amazing and the applause you received bore testament to that. I actually think it worked equally as well in the Cathedral as it would have done outside. Your selection of patriotic songs at the end of your performance was spot on and I’m glad you and your mother were able to stay and enjoy some refreshments before you left.

After a stunning performance at Stamford Arts Centre on Friday, Gabriella topped off her Platinum Jubilee Celebrations with another brilliant performance today at Peterborough Cathedral.

Oh my days how did you do it Gabriella? My 3 year old did not shout, scream or run away, but just listened to you sing. I’m mind blown.

Wonderful concert Gabriella and Kate! It was tremendous and a credit to you and your teaching encouragement!

Your amazing kind, caring, loving full of inclusion and love and your voice has all that in it. I’m so glad I was able to hear your beautiful voice.

We have had magical moments with you at Peterborough Cathedral and Stamford Arts Centre.

Fantastic audience response to this much loved, expertly led favourite before an encore was demanded and expertly delivered: a standing ovation deservedly followed.

Absolutely breath-taking…I believe Gabriella got more than one standing ovation. I loved the music, the students, the sparkle and the delightfully responsive audience. Thank you for a wonderful performance and for making me like opera.

Gabriella's presence and voice were the best presents to give to my parents, who love beautiful voices and music. Her soprano voice is amazing, and her singing shows how much she loves her art and sharing it with others. I never imagined having the chance to have a private concert like the one Gabriella's offered. It was unforgettable and incredible.
Samantha Davis-Bradshaw
You are a beautiful singer whom I saw many times in Peterborough. Please sing more at the pier and make hearts smile…you are bringing such joy to people.

Gabriella sang for our Mum's 101st birthday and provided a fantastic performance. She has a beautiful voice and interacted with us from the outset, even solving an issue when we had a technical difficulty. We would thoroughly recommend booking her and loved the fact that she dressed for the occasion, making it feel so special for our Mum.
Lily Harris
Gabriella was warm and engaging - a wonderful voice and a dynamic personality. She created a bespoke programme which the whole family enjoyed - young and younger alike.

Gabriella presented a very professional performance. Her choice of arias not only suited her voice but responded to our stated interest. It was a lovely intimate concert and she interacted with us throughout in a lovely relaxed manner.
John Sproston
Gabriella gave an absolutely superb performance of chosen opera classics and other songs as a surprise birthday event which was organised by my daughter. I speak on behalf of all the guests on Zoom to say that everyone was delighted by her performance and all wish her well when live performances begin again. Thankyou Gabriella!
Emma Rynn
Gabriella was fabulous and managed our international group of friends and family brilliantly as well as being an excellent singer and superb performer.
Pete and Jayne
We enjoyed a performance from Gabriella on Valentines evening. I organised a surprise for Jayne which was a wonderful treat. I told Gabriella about our favourite songs in emails before the show and she took the time and effort to incorporate two of our songs which were not part of her normal repertoire. The music created a marvellous romantic interlude in our evening and even brought a tear or two. It was so nice to do something different in lockdown and great to be able to support the performers. Thank you so much xx.
Tom F
Gabriella not only had an amazing operatic singing voice but was also incredibly confident and cool when faced with our multiple zoom boxes and describing each of the pieces.
Malcolm Fitzwilliams
My second Lockdown Presents concert. I was well impressed by Gabriella's stylish presentation onscreen, as well an awesome performance, that opened with a candlelit rendition of Happy Birthday. You don't forget Lockdown birthday celebrations like this one.

Gabriella was a surprise participant on my birthday Zoom call, and made it a truly memorable occasion. She has a wonderful voice, and performed a wide range of songs, with personal touches which were really appreciated. Gabriella engaged us all throughout with her warm and friendly style and created a really lovely atmosphere. At a time when we are all missing live music, this was such a special treat, and I would highly recommend her. Thanks Gabriella!

What a perfect birthday treat for my other half! Gabriella has a stunning voice, full of emotion, subtlety and power. She made the whole evening very special for all of us. From the start, Gabriella was very welcoming and added some personal touches to the songs. She also sang some pieces in French, by special request. All the invitees held candles and cake as we sang happy birthday, which created an intimate atmosphere. All in all, you will be thrilled if you book Gabriella for your special event!
Amrit
Amazing! Gabriella was fantastic, very personable and put on a great performance for a virtual surprise birthday. Highly recommended!
Liesl Santkuyl
Gabriella was a great performer for our mother's 78th birthday. She was personable and professional. Her commentary between her performance of select pieces was very interesting and she has a warm and welcoming way of communicating. We loved the theme she chose, and the selections were a mix of contemporary and classical selections. She looked like a performer on a stage, and we loved Kermit the frog perched on the piano nearby. Enjoyed this performance so very much!
Katrina
Gabriella Pineda-Rodrigues gave an outstanding performance for my mother's birthday during our weekly family zoom call. It was an amazing evening of wonderful beautiful music and singing! Gabriella chose a great mix of songs and what a fantastic singer she is! The song choices were very enjoyable. Gabriella's voice and face are very expressive and captivating. It was very moving. All of us loved it! My mother was thrilled with this unique gift of live music. Our entire family enjoyed Gabriella's performance.

A splendid performance; an excellent voice; an all round perfect evening. I would strongly recommend Gabriella to enhance and personalise any special event or celebration. Thank you so much.

We would highly recommend a private concert from Gabriella. She has a beautiful, amazing voice and the sound quality was excellent. She made the time very personal and has a good presence on screen. We thoroughly enjoyed the concert and could listen to her voice for hours. Thank you very much for a lovely evening.
Shaun
Wonderful evening of beautiful music from an outstanding singer! This concert was arranged as a surprise birthday treat for a friend who particularly loves musicals, and Gabriella pulled out all the stops by singing some of her favourite songs with such an amazing voice. The whole experience was really special. Gabriella was the consummate professional, the lighting and decorations in the background were beautiful, and she put everyone at ease, especially the birthday girl! Thank you so much Gabriella! We have would have no hesitation in recommending you for any special occasion.
Dymphna Harriss
Everyone said what a beautiful performance. Gabriella has a wonderful voice, and her choice of music was perfect. This was a surprise concert for my elderly brother in hospital. Gabriella was so helpful to this Zoom novice. I have no hesitation in recommending her and will certainly book her again.
Claire Bett
Gabriella did a Zoom Carol Concert today for my Uncle stuck in hospital over Christmas. It was wonderful. The song selection, her appearance ( beautiful gown) and her side conversation made the evening feel very personal. Well done for taking the limitations of the moment and turning them into such a positive event. Highly recommend.
Jacki Preece
This was a private concert, especially for a close friend. Gabriella sang a selection of Christmas carols, which was a real treat.Her beautiful voice and sensitive performance gave the carols an extra poignancy.
