"Carolann
Page was ideally cast... with nimble vocal technique and sparkling ornamentation
in her big aria in the Cours la Reine scene." – THE HOUSTON POST |
|
|
|
"..visually
riveting, already half-mad and half-dead. She sang with concentrated beauty
of voice." "James
Morris was joined in this act by the sumptuous singing of Carolann Page."

"...performance memorable..exquisite aria and duet in the final scene." |
|
|
"...the
most vivid character is Carolann Page's Elvira...She is a seething mass
of conflicting emotions...the voices are fine, especially the wide-ranging
Page." – CINCINNATI ENQUIRER |
"..a lovely voiced Widow, never more impressive than in the fine-spun fluency of her second-act 'Vilia'." |
