A HIGHLY MUSICAL PERFORMANCE.

"This was a highly musical performance, putting the notes first and letting the meaning and drama come through them. Wagner sang with a feeling of long phrases, not just excellent breath support through each vocal line but an elegant legato that gathered each separate line into an extended sensation. This was a subtle and intelligent approach, a story-telling feeling in music that is usually sung as a series of emotional vignettes."

RAVISHING, WITH APPROPRIATE REGAL CHARACTER

"As Idamante, the would-be king, mezzo-soprano Erin Wagner sang with appropriately regal character, and as Ilia, a Trojan captive in love with Idamante, soprano Meredith Wohlgemuth produced a silky-sweet sound that matched seamlessly with Wagner’s in a ravishing Act II duet."
