“She is probably the best mezzo-soprano I've ever had in my studio. She has an artistry that is extremely unusual. She can interpret a song far beyond her years.”
Bill Bauer
“The (women's) roles are for a mezzo-soprano, a lyric soprano and a coloratura soprano ... and she is extremely talented with a beautiful sound and flexibility.”
Prentice Loftin
“Rich, supple and shining, it was in its prime capable of effortlessly soaring from a smoky mezzo to the pure soprano gold of a perfectly spun high C.”
Michael Walsh
“Tenors are noble, pure and heroic and get the soprano, if she has not tragically expired before the final curtain. But baritones are born villains in opera. Always the heavy and never the hero-that's me.”
Leonard Warren
“Nobody inspired me more than Julie Andrews, who is a classically trained soprano herself.”
Lesley Garrett
“There were people questioning their values and where they stand. Tony Soprano was saying 'he's a top earner, who cares whether he is gay?' You also heard people say he's a good father and a good husband. It wasn't just about his sexual orientation.”
David Kilmnick
“It's not in the soprano voice that she has. But it's in a voice that's good to hear.”
