A HAND OF BRIDGE | Geraldine

VANESSA | Vanessa

"Katya Roemer is an artist to watch.  She is elegant on stage, in every way.  Her mature voice is capable of handling the coloratura of the Skating Aria and the lyricism of the love duet."

- Paul Stevenson, Opera Guide

​

"... a strong, dramatic soprano capable of negotiating the flexible lines, dominating the opera's opening scene.  She was also a sympathetic actress, achieving the complexities of this bittersweet, repressed, vaguely aging woman."

- Charles Shere, Oakland Tribune
