Postcard Reviews... the word is out


So lots of people don't like to read reviews, but I am one of those people that is interested to see what the public thought... :) VoilĂ  here is what I found...
Argento’s score provides the vocalists with many opportunities for stunning virtuoso turns. We have a “Lady with a Hand Mirror” given a coloratura soprano part, executed last night by Suzanne Rigden with dazzling panache.

Suzanne Rigden hit some impossibly high notes dead-on

Suzanne Rigden was a bright-toned Lady with a Hand Mirror

Soprano Suzanne Rigden gave a zesty, piquant performance as an operetta singer

Soprano Suzanne Rigden has a strong, high & brilliant sound, & her voice was easy to pick out even in the ensemble passages.

Coloratura soprano Suzanne Rigden (A Lady with a Hand Mirror/An Operetta Singer) was almost as commanding. Her voice is large and very bright, her vocalism secure, and her movements lovely to watch. Only the lack of a distinctive timbre and clear characterization held her back from breaking through the opera’s intentional fog.
