“…but soprano Kyaunnee Richardson made Adele’s scenes mesmerizing… and Richardson’s voicing of the oft-excerpted couplets ‘Mein Herr Marquis, ein Mann wie Sie,’ her trills and top D lustrous…. As Adele exhibited her fledgling talent for the stage, seeking sponsorship for a career in the theater, the couplets in Act Three, ‘Spiel ich die Unschuld vom Lande,’ were intoned with musical and comedic virtuosity. In fantastic voice throughout the performance, Richardson reserved her best effort for the final scene, bringing down the curtain with a phenomenal interpolated top D, and her uncontainable smile brought sunlight to the auditorium on a stormy afternoon…” ~ Joseph Newsome

And finally, Ms. Richardson will return with Opera in Williamsburg in the role of Donna Elvira in Mozart’s Don Giovanni.

“When Kyaunnee Richardson takes the stage, you feel her presence, are stunned by her poise, and taken in by her beauty. When she opens her mouth and starts to sing, her voice more than meets the moment. With challenging runs often in a foreign language, opera is a difficult discipline to master. To do it on stage under hot lights in elaborate costumes adds extra degrees of difficulty to the job. But it’s a lifelong passion for Richardson who exudes elegance on and off stage…” ~John Hayden
