| "Claudette possesses a large, opulent, dark-toned dramatic mezzo-soprano voice, with a range encompassing low F to high C. Her extensive experience as an actress in straight drama and musical theater gives her a deep understanding of character development and theatrical presentation lending dramatic truth to her operatic roles. She is particularly well-suited to singing Verdi and other dramatic and character mezzo-soprano roles - particularly Carmen, Azucena, Ulrica, Amneris." Penny Orloff Executive Director Chaspen Foundation for the Arts "A talented mezzo-soprano with a commanding voice and presence...a captivating performer." Jennifer Bowman Seattle Opera Young Artist Program Pianist / Operatic Coach "The voice is marvelous for Carmen...Wonderful strength in the low and mid voice and an eveness in the range which is a real asset...Verdi is her fach." Dr. Linda Marr Professor of Voice Central Washington University, Ellensburg "Big, rich, powerful tone...Excellent French...Wonderful intensity...Commanding presence - very imposing." Barry Johnson PAF/E Voice Opera Aria Adjudicator "The ideal Verdi voice...a true mezzo-soprano in the classic sense." Penny Orloff Executive Director Chaspen Foundation for the Arts "She is professional, entertaining and extremely talented. She went out of her way to interact with her audience and gave them enough history to develop a feel for the operatic pieces." Tamara Nielson ADC, Activities Coordinator Hearthstone Health Center |
