"...an opulently effulgent tone... Her endurance and stamina were inspiring. I could imagine her singing a Leonora, taking a break for dinner and then coming out for Tosca as dessert. She sounded as fresh-voiced at the end of the two hours plus, as at the beginning." John Hammel

“[In] probably the best performance overall that I've heard in Lambert Hall. Soprano Lisa Lockhart had the power and sound for Leonora's (Il Trovatore) soaring arches of melody…She conveyed enthusiasm for performing and slowly added details to her characterization.” Charles Ward, The Houston Chronicle

"Jacqueline Quirk gave a brilliant performance vocally, was superb in her acting and portrayed the role of Donna Anna to its absolute Mozart-intended perfection. I was particularly impressed with the beautiful lyricism of her vocal line, her warm honey tones, and soaring ringing top that reminded me of a young Tebaldi." Classical Singer, NJ
