REVIEW from Opera Wire
(December 20, 2021)"The mezzo-soprano Helen Jarmany excelled both musically and dramaturgically, whose portrayal of the level-headed Suzuki captured the taut complexities of her station in unassailable detail. While at the beginning, her voice tended to fall behind the orchestra and caused her to disappear at times, by Act two she had positioned herself as a Bel canto persona grata, especially during “The Flower Duet.” A display of operatic excellence, she effortlessly blended with El-Khoury and produced one of the opera’s most evocative moments." John Vandevert. 20.12.21. Opera Wire.
