Personally, I found Stefanie Caccamo’s portrayal of Arwen to be nothing short of extraordinary. Her captivating vocals truly set her apart, drawing me into the emotional depth of the character. What made her performance even more enchanting was her dedication to learning the harp for the role. Every moment she spent on stage transported me to a heartfelt realm.
