Violetta was beautifully sung and acted by Rebekkah Hilgraves, a soprano with a rich mezzo quality, a glorious sound …so moving as to bring a lump to the throat, especially as she is clearly a consummate actress as well.”

An opulently effulgent tone… Her endurance and stamina were inspiring. I could imagine her singing a Leonora, taking a break for dinner and then coming out for Tosca as dessert. She sounded as fresh-voiced at the end of the two hours plus, as at the beginning.”
