Königin der Nacht in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte
“The Queen is magnificent . . . in two fiendishly difficult arias, sung with apparent ease by
Showalter.” --Philippa Kiraly – Seattle Post-Intelligencer (May 16, 2005)
Königin der Nacht in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte
“ . . . soul-stirring vocals . . . The puppets have an advantage performing demanding arias:
When the Queen of the Night reaches into the stratosphere to hit those famous high notes,
her neck pops up a few extra inches to help her along. Soprano Bianca Showalter, in front
of the stage, sang the nuanced role with much less fuss.” --Sheila Farr and Paul Dorpat –

Jane the Journalist in Lisa Scola Prosek's Trap Door
". . . projected video that saturates each scene, more than background for singers acting—
more like water for fish to swim in. And the performers swim indeed . . ." --Ken Bullock -
