Awet Andemicael
“…and young Awet Andemicael - a Harvard graduate - brought a sweet, vibrant soprano to the boy's narration”
El retablo del Maese Pedro, Boston Symphony Orchestra; The Boston Globe |
|
|
Jennifer Check

Carnegie's Zankel Hall Recital; The New York Times |
|

Eliane Coelho
**
“Eliane Coelho in the title role received the strongest ovations...she offered vocal passion and fascinatingly sensible phrasing.”
Fedora, Staatsoper Wien; Der Kurier
|
|
|
Anat Efraty
**+
“… placed herself firmly in the ranks of rising stars… with her complete mastery of her difficult vocal lines – quite the best of the half dozen or so singers I have seen in the role.”
Lulu, Staatsoper Wien; Opera
|
|
|
Valentina Farcas
"Valentina Farcas was a wonderful Blonde...The petite soubrette with the pliant voice threatened at times to physically and vocally upstage the real heroine — Konstanze"
Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Salzburg Festival; San Francisco Chronicle
|
|
|
Nicolle Foland
"...a splendid Alceste, her strong lyric soprano cleanly
produced from top to bottom, with ringing high attacks and subtle musical touches gracefully executed."
Alceste, Opera Boston; Opéra International
|
|
|
Inessa Galante
**
“Few debut recitals are as impressive as this one by Inessa Galante…her secure, shining voice is a lyric soprano verging on spinto, easy in production even above the staff.”
“Inessa Galante – Debut”, CD Review; Opera News
|
|
|
Cynthia Haymon
** +
“Luminous Pamina… with a voice of vibrant beauty...she draws us deeply into the character... ‘Ach, ich fühl’s’ was the highlight.”
Die Zauberflöte, Cleveland Opera; The Plaindealer
|
|
|
Lisa Hopkins
“Hopkins' crystalline soprano emphasized the delicacy of the dying, tubercular Mimì. You wonder what this voice could do with Mozart's heroines.”
La Bohème on Broadway; the journal news.com
|
|
|
Georgia Jarman
“…up-and-coming star Georgia Jarman as Violetta...sang beautifully, with a delicious lilt to her phrasing and a fine point to her words...she brought passion and flair…”
La Traviata, Caramoor Festival; Newsday
|
|
|
Lise Lindstrom
“...an attractive, tall soprano who possesses a voice of gleaming intensity. She built “In questa reggia” to a powerful climax, every laser-like high note a brilliant, rock-solid monument to her voice and technique. The warmth came through, too, in the caressing of phrase after phrase, both in that aria and in the final duet... her career should soar just as surely as her high Cs did in this production.“”
Turandot, Cleveland Opera; Opera News
|
|
|
Indira Mahajan
“Donna Elvira is the opera’s trickiest challenge for characterization: abandoned lover, helpless victim, and avenging fury, constantly shifting between tragedy and comedy; Indira Mahajan balanced these nuances with impressive dexterity."
Don Giovanni, Virginia Opera; Washington Post
|
|
|
Maureen McKay
“But the undisputed star of the show was the young soprano Maureen McKay, playing the willful and wily Susanna. Armed with a silvery, precisely aimed voice, natural stage presence and the kind of beautifully detailed acting you don’t see often enough on the operatic stage, McKay turned in a smart, sexy and thoroughly charming performance." br>
Le nozze di Figaro, Wolf Trap Opera; Washington Post
|
|
|
Marisol Montalvo
"...But the true revelation was the Lulu of Marisol Montalvo.. The American soprano possesses real stage and vocal presence, and executes the exhausting role with incredible intensity." Lulu, Opéra de Paris; Le Monde |
|
|
Sinéad Mulhern
“..A much celebrated debut of the young Irish soprano, Sinéad Mulhern... She possesses a beautiful, slender, pure-timbred, well-produced soprano and her interpretation of Jenufa is most believeable. Because of this, Mulhern seduces, touches and turns Jenufa's destiny,"
Jenufa, Wiener Staatsoper; Wiener Kurier |
|
|
Susan Marie Pierson
“in the title role the charismatic Susan Marie Pierson...inhabited the character totally...brilliant top that cut through the orchestral fabric, dramatic middle tones and warm, carmine-colored low notes."
Elektra, Ausin Lyric Opera; San Antonio Express News
|
|
|
Nili Riemer
"...the floated pianissimos in her death scene were heart-stopping"
Lakme, Minnesota Opera; Opera News |
|
|

|
|
|
Larisa Tetuev
“...one of the most beautiful and unique lyric soprano voices...charismatic stage presence...fascinating Butterfly.”
Madama Butterfly, Fort Worth Opera; Star Telegram
|

Opening Night Gala Concert Deutsche Oper; Berliner Morgenpost
