“Susanna, sung by soprano Deborah Selig, was the star throughout. In ensemble and in arias, her sense of line and nuance were matched only by the sheer beauty of her tone and power of projection.”

“Deborah Selig as Susanna deservedly earned someone's bravissima for her rich singing all the way through this long role, including a great "Deh, vieni" in Act 4, and for totally convincing acting with agile movement and a variety of facial expression that made this young lyric soprano one of the better actresses I've seen in opera.”
