SARAHANN DUFFY
MEZZO-SOPRANO
SARAHANN
Mezzo-Soprano SarahAnn Duffy, stepping in for an indisposed colleague, was poignant as the lovelorn Endymion; her tenderly passionate duets with Ms. Ravel were high points in the show."
- WALL STREET JOURNAL
"SarahAnn Duffy had the larger challenge, jumping in with both feet to contribute a major accomplishment in the key role of Endymion. Ms. Duffy's mezzo was liquid gold and her well-shaped sound was even, effortless, firm, and shining from top to bottom. Her extended, deeply felt scenes, especially the meltingly delivered duet with Ms. Raven, were real high points in a uniformly first rate performance.
- OPERA TODAY
“Mezzo-soprano SarahAnn Duffy proved an affable Rosina, although when bullied by Doctor Bartolo, she was anything but a pushover. With her creamy mezzo-soprano she soared gently through Rossini’s coloratura thickets, and her cavatina “Una voce poco fa” displayed finesse and a clear stylistic appreciation.”
