Leila Zanette is strongly cast as Marta, Iolanta's companion, all down to her lovely mezzo and impressive stage persona.

...Leila Zanette gave a dramatically commanding performance, ending with her storming down the nave of St George’s to confront the other characters in her last-ditch attempt to thwart Teseo and Agilea’s partnership.

... an extremely sumptuous mezzo-soprano, as did Leila Zanette as Medea who also produced a glistening sound in the upper register that nonetheless still hinted at the character's malevolence.
