"The standout of the evening was the soprano Kathryn Lewek. Ms. Lewek’s soprano has an appealing weight and warmth across its range, with blooming, unforced top notes. Combined with voluptuous phrasing and careful attention to the text, those qualities gave each of her solos lasting emotional resonance."
The New York Times
"Soprano Kathryn Lewek was spectacular in the role (of Queen of the Night). Her singing was exciting beyond sheer articulation, intonation, breath-support, and color. She was fully in character throughout, expressing first benevolent superiority, then power, and finally malevolence. Her Act II aria was blistering and thrilling, making one hold one’s breath until the final note."
