The top of my list the evening's pleasures was the Donna Anna of soprano Rachel Willis-Sorensen, who sounded great from beginning to end ("Non mi dir" was a pleasure)...
Broadway World
Donna Anna, Rachel Willis-Sørensen essayed a truly powerful interpretation. From the opening notes to the very end of the opera, her performance was marked by tremendous vocal confidence with arguably the most challenging role in the opera.
Operawire
Rachel Willis-Sørenson...blossomed into a penetrating tone and effortless coloratura, culminating in her big moment in the opera’s next-to-last scene with “Non mi dir."
New York Classical Review
It rarely happens to listen to such a "D'amor sull'ali rosee", veined with caressing sadness, where the exquisite descending portamenti are a cascade of small notes tied up yet well defined."
Connessi all'Opera
Rachel Willis-Sørensen, as Donna Anna, never sounds vocally stretched (as can sometimes happen with this role) and is as lyrical as she is luminous.
