"Soprano Mary Wilson shone as the princess Oriana, object of both men's affections, creating a genuine character from somewhat generic dramatic material. She possesses a gleaming voice, as well as the gift of using ornamentation to heighten meaning and underscore emotion, rather than merely to display technique."

“As ideally suited as her voice is to contemporary works, it is no less adept with the classics. Ms. Wilson performed Mozart’s “Exsultate, jubilate,” a gorgeous motet created by the composer when he was a teenager. But it is a fully mature work, and Wilson’s soaring performance nailed it with precision. This was Wilson’s first appearance in the region and we hope there will be many more.”
